How many AirPort Express stations can be supported by an AirPort Extreme wirelessly?

I got one AirPort Extreme in my home and would like to extend the wireless network by purchasing additional AirPort Express. Wanna know how many AirPort Express stations can be supported by an AirPort Extreme wirelessly?
Thanks.
Tony

Bob -- question for you which I can't answer as I don't have an airport extreme. The newer Extremes can create both G and N networks and can create the N network in the 5 mhz band. Can you increase the number of Express units you can connect wirelessly if you split the load between the 2.4 mhz G and 5 mhz N networks created by the Extreme. (recognizing that the 5 mhz band has less range than the 2.4 mhz band)
Not an issue for me as I only have three connected wirelessly, but I've always wondered about this. Of my three AX units one connects to a G network created by a Linksys WRT54GS and two connect to the N network created by the AX.
So instead of 3-4 AX units could it become 6-8?

If i purchase a new airport base station can I use my old airport extreme 802.11n (3rd Gen) as both an extender of my wife for multiple iphones and as a router?

I operate an old airport extreme base station 802.11n (3rd gen).
There are 4 iphone5's and 1 iphone4 on my network along with 2 laptops running 10.6.8 and 10.7 respectively as well as two desktops with the same configurations as the laptops.
I get a sense that the iphones may/will be useless the new airport.
Can I use the old base station (operating as an extender/bridge/router) so that older equipment will operate in the short term until they are upgraded?
Thank you.

They will work fine with a new AirPort base station. You can use an iPhone or iPad to set up and configure the new base station. If you want to use a Mac to set up and configure the new AirPort, it will need to have at least Lion 10.7.5 installed. Mountain Lion 10.8 or Mavericks 10.9 could be used as well.

You can use the older AirPort base station to extend the wireless network. No updates will be needed to your iPhones or Macs.

How many RAID 0's can I support?

Hi All,
I've got an ASUS Sabertooth MB, Core i7 950, 12gb Tri Channel 1600 mhz ram, 850 watt corsair power supply,a nd GTX 470.
My boot drive is a 300gb Velociraptor, and I have 2 Samsung 1 TB in a RAID 0.
Question: Can my setup support another RAID 0? I only ask cause I can get 2 Western Digital 500 gb drives for $50 each and I think it would compliment my system nicely.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Adamousman,
Your system sounds solid and also pretty balanced to me as described already. Before I would comment where to add a small investment to improve on what you have already, I would like to see your PPBM5 score broken down by category. Have you run PPBM5 yet?
Also, in another one of your threads, Cristobal suggested you overclock your 950 to 4 GHz. If you still have your stock cooler, ditch it for something better and overclock you CPU at least some, even if not up to 4.0.
If you have not seen my thread on how changes to various PC components impacted my PPBM5 score, check it out to get a feel for how CPU speed, RAM size, and drive setup changed how fast Premiere Pro performed on a single system:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3465135#3465135
You will see that drive improvements past a 2xRAID 0 like you already have were pretty subtle.
Harm and Bill preach the importance of a good Premiere Pro system being a sum of all of the parts and that is so true!
Regards,
Jim

How many GB of Ram can G500 support?

Hi.
I have a G500 with a 4gb of ram and I want to install the maximum that this laptop can support.
After searching on the Net I saw here:
http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/lenovo/g-series/g500/#techspecs
saying: Up to 8GB PC3-12800 DDR3 SDRAM 1600 MHz
On the other hand here:
http://shop.lenovo.com/gr/el/laptops/lenovo/g-series/g500/#tab-Τεχνικές_Προδιαγραφές
says:
DDR3 έως 16 GB 1.600 Mhz (υποστήριξη δύο καναλιών) [2 υποδοχές SODIMM (1x 2 GB / 2x 2 GB / 1x 4 GB / 1x 2 GB + 1x 4 GB / 2x 4 GB / 1x 8 GB / 2x 8 GB)
meaning that you can put 2 * 8 GB = 16GB maximum.
Can anybody please inform me (with a site please) what is the right one? 8GB (2*4GB) or 16GB (2*8GB)?
Thank you.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

My 4Gb memory (one module) is 11 11 11 28.
Can I put a two modules 8+8=16GB of 9 9 9 24?
I have read """"""The lower this is (tRas), the faster the performance, but if it is set too low, it can cause data corruption by deactivating the row too soon.""""""῾.
Is there a possibility that the new memory modules are not good for the g500 I have?
If anybody can help i would appreciate it.
I dont want to spent 150Euros and then discover that the memory modules are not good
I had put in a previous message a module I was thinking to buy but they cancelled my message.

Why can't one of my Airport express stations extend my wireless network?

Background:
I have an Airport Extreme cabled to my Comcast router.
I have three Airport Express units scattered around my house.
All have worked fine for many months and all are running version 7.6.4.
Problem:
Recently, one of the Airport Express stations had a yellow, flashing LED and a status of "Extended Network - This Airport base station was unable to extend the wireless network..."
Using Airport Utility, this station displays a connection quality status of "good."
This unit also has the exact same settings as my other two Airport Express units.
Using Airport Utility I instructed the unit to "Ignore" the status, and the LED turned green. But the status of "Extended Network" continues to display.
I've tried a hard reboot of the unit, but nothing changed.
Any suggestions as to how to correct this status?

Thanks for the suggestion, but apparently the culprit was my Airport Extreme.
I swapped the locations of two of my Airport Expresses and the problem replicated. Both had the "Extended Network" status and both showed a red number 1, indicating that a firmware upgrade was available (but no update button appeared). I returned the two Expresses to their original locations. Same situation after they booted.
Then I performed a hard reset of my Airport Extreme. After the reset, all three Airport Expresses now have no special status messages in Airport Utility and all have a connection of "good" or "excellent." Plus, no red number 1's appear (which should only appear if a firmware update was available).
So, problem solved.

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.

How many digital voice ports can Cisco 3663 support ?

How many digital voice ports can Cisco 3662 support ?
They said "Medium complexity Codecs: 360 (E1)/288 (T1) and High-complexity Codecs: 180 (E1)/144 (T1) "in Cisco 3660 voice gateway data sheet .
But another document said you just configured 4E1 on a Cisco 3660 router .
Which one is true ?

Hi,
There are some other issue except physically accepted number of voice port.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/routers/ps259/products_data_sheet09186a00800921ed.html
page will give you better idea. Even though you can install many voice ports into a router , there is other limits you encounter.

Airport utility can't connect to Airport express station

My AirPort utility has problems to connect to my AirPort Express station (old model a/b/g; old firmware 6.1).
First problem was, that it could not read the configuration. After a factory rest like described here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108044 the utility comes one step further and asks me for a password: I tried "public" several times, but it asks me over and over again for a password. What i my problem?

Problem solved: I downgraded the AirPort utility to 5.0. Then I was able to access the AirPort Express station. Upgraded the firmware to 6.3. Then the station was recignized by AirPort utility 5.3.1 again. Connected it to the AirPort Extreme as AirTunes-station. Works perfectly.

Airtunes no longer working with AirPort Express? can anyone help?!

so i recently bought a refurbished airport express and i loved how i could stream audio over the wireless network via airtunes but the delay was a bit annoying so i took it upon myself to try and find a solution to this.
I bought a reverse audio splitter (1 female to 2 male) thinking that i could plug my speakers into the female end of the splitter, leave one of the male audio jacks plugged into the airport express, and the other male end into my computer so when i was at my desk the audio would go straight from my computer to the speakers (bypassing the airport altogether) and the delay problem with airtunes would be solved.
this worked for a little bit, but the next day when i went to play a song via airtunes it didnt work.. no error messages, just no sound.. i did some investigating and found that there was a red light coming from the audio jack on the airport express which i found out could mean that either it is in optical mode or that it is just dead..
But here's the real weird part!! so i also have the program called AirFoil to transmit audio from the internet to my speakers via the airport express, and the speakers connected to the airport can play itunes when AirFoil is connected to itunes even though the light is still red inside the airport audio jack!! weird huh?
Anyways, i just wanna know if there is anything that i can do to fix my AirTunes sound output since it seems like the audio jack on the airport express isnt totally dead??

I'm in the same boat. I can still get on the web with it, but neither airport utility or itunes can see it. disappointing to say the least.

How many Multi-Touch points can an iPhone/iPod touch have at the same time?

How many Multi-Touch points can an iPhone/iPod touch/iPad have at the same time?
I am curious as IIRC (but forgot where the article is on the Internet),
if a touch surface is wanted to be able to detect more than 1 touch point at the same time,
then that touch surface needs adding 1 more conductive(?) layer.
(e.g. 2 points -> 2 layers, and so on)
So I wonder how many these layers are on the iPhone / iPod touch / iPad or even the trackpad on every MacBook (Pro).
(correct me if I'm wrong)
Just curious, thanks in advance!

I believe it can only support 2. This article explains how the touch screen works but doesn't explicitly say how many points is supports.

Using airport express station to connect to FIOS wireless

My G 5 tower does not have an airport card so I'm trying to configure an airport express station that I have to be used as a card. However, it tells me that it needs to find an airport wireless node to connect to. Is there any workaround to connect to a FIOS router?

See if any of these help, if not reprt back...

How many IDE drives & CDrom can be installed with SATA drives??

How many IDE drives & CDrom can be installed with SATA drives??
i have 2 IDE hard disks & 2 CDROM drives: can install SATA hard disk added to these drives or do i have to remove some???
& if it can be added, can i install 2 SATA drives???
THX in advance

The 3 versions of this board that are available are:
875P Neo-FISR (PCB 2.0)
875P Neo-LSR (PCB 1.0)
875P Neo-FIS2R (PCB 1.0)
All of these boards will have the following ports provider by the chipsets ICH5R south bridge.
2 x SATA (Supporting 2 SATA HDD drives)
2 x PATA (Supporting 4 IDE devices)
All 6 of these can be used at the same time (provided you are using win XP or 2K) you just need to make sure yor BIOS is set right.
->INTEGRATED PERIPHERALS
->ON-CHIP IDE CONFIG
ATA CONFIG: S-ATA ONLY or P-ATA ONLY
S-ATA/P-ATA KEEP ENABLED: YES
OPERATE MODE:
If you set to "legacy mode" S-ATA are set to channel 1 and 2 and P-ATA to channel 3 and 4. If you set to "native mode" P-ATA are channel 1 and 2 and S-ATA 3 and 4. You can only use the raid functionfon SATA in native mode.
If you have the 875P Neo-FIS2R (PCB 1.0) you will also have the following ports provided by the Promise PDC20378 PCI controller:
2 x SATA (Supporting 2 SATA HDD drives)
1 x PATA (Supporting 1 Master IDE HDD drive)
The PATA port is limited to 1 Master HDD by the lite BIOS. This can in theory be upgraded to the full BIOS supporting a master and a slave, but this may obviously void your warranty.
So the answer to your origional question is:
2 x SATA HDDs and 4 x IDE HDD/CDROM if you have 875P Neo-FISR (PCB 2.0) or 875P Neo-LSR (PCB 1.0)
or
4 x SATA HDDs, 1 x IDE HDD (2 if you modify the BIOS) and 4 x IDE HDD/CDROM if you have 875P Neo-FIS2R (PCB 1.0)

Second Airport Express Station Setup Problems

Hello all,
I have a primary airport express station as my main wireless hub in the living room. It's physically connected to my cable modem as well as external speakers and works fine. I just purchased a second Airport express station and external speakers to set them up in my bedroom. I connected the new station to the A/C power and connected the speakers to it. Then went to my iMac and launched the Airport Utility to set up the second wireless station. I can see the second station (as well as the existing Living Room one) on the list of devices, but when I try to configure it, it asks me if I want to switch wireless networks (in order to configure this new station). I tell it to switch and then it times out telling me that I can't connect to the station (or wireless network).
I've tried to reset the new station and unplugging it and all the usual stuff to no avail. The living room station is still visible and working fine, but I cannot configure the new station to join the existing network and stream music to the speakers connected to it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
UPDATE: The old (living room) station is 802.11g, whereas the new one (bedroom) is 802.11n.
--Gabriel

It's always a good idea to configure devices in close proximity to the "main" router and then move them to the desired location after they have been updated with new settings.
Perform a Factory Default Reset as follows on the AirPort Express (AX):
Power down the AX
Hold in the reset button and keep holding it for 10-12 seconds while you plug the AX back in to power
Release the reset button and let the AX restart to a slow, blinking amber light after about 40-45 seconds
If available, temporarily connect a spare Ethernet cable from your computer to the AX so that you are using a wired connection rather than wireless
Setup the AX to "join" the wireless network and click Update to let the AX restart to a green light. You can disconnect the Ethernet cable.
Then move the AX to desired location. I assume that the AX will be located where it can receive a good quality wireless signal.

Stream to two different Airport Express stations?

Hello,
I've set up my apartment with two Airport Express stations. I can roam around the apartment and get a good wireless signal wherever I go. Using Airtunes, I can stream music to either of the locations, but not both. Does anyone know if this is possible? I have a stereo in each room, and sometimes (during a party for example) want them both to play from my iTunes.

I believe you are limited to one at a time.

How many numbers of GRE Tunnels are supported on Cisco 3925 router?

Hi...
I would like to know that.......
How many numbers of GRE Tunnels are supported on Cisco 3925 router?
Thanks....

This is what I found in my search:
There may be factors such as memory constraints that will place practical limits on how many tunnels you can support. But there is also a hard limit on the number of tunnels that you can configure. That limit is based on the limitation of the number of IDBs supported by your router. The IDB is the Interface Descriptor Block and each interface (physical, or tunnel, or loopback, or whatever) requires an IDB. The number of IDBs will vary by platform and sometimes by release level of the code that you are running. You can use the privileged command show idb to see what the limitation is on your router. On the 1841 router that I just checked the limit on IDB is 1200 (which is a pretty large number - I believe that you would encounter other limits on performance or on size of configuration before you exhaust the IDB limit).
