How many network interfaces the Airport Extreme (a/b/g/n with USB) has?

I am trying to use an SNMP client on the computer to monitor my network traffic.
I using the Airport Extreme (AEBS) to connect to the internet using PPPoE. wifi and ethernet (RJ45) ports are used for LAN
Now after setting up the SNMP client, it shows so many interfaces the AEBS has, and most names of the interfaces cant give me a clue about what they are:
1: mgi0
2. mgi1
3. mv0
4. mv1
5. lo0
6. wlan0
7. wlan1
8. pppoe0
9. bridge0
The "pppoe0" interface is self evident. That's the overall traffic in and out of the router to the Internet.
But I also want to monitor the traffic on my local computer, which is a Macbook Pro connected thru wifi. I also have a few other windows boxes on the LAN using wifi or ethernet connect.
So I need to what those interfaces are.
Is there any documentation regarding the network interfaces of the AEBS?

  • Difference between the  5 ghz and the 2.4 ghz network on the Airport Extreme

    Strenght signal-wise, is there a difference between the  5 ghz and the 2.4 ghz network on the Airport Extreme?
    Is the 5 ghz network on the Airport Extreme the 802.11n signal that is supossed to have better speed and strenght than the 802.11g spec?
    I am confused because I can not tell the difference in performance between both signal on my new A.E.

    The laws of physics always dictate that in order to gain something....let's say speed....you have to give up something else.
    In return for higher speed capabilities, 5 GHz signals are not as strong as 2.4 GHz signals, so they do not travel as far, or penetrate obstructions as well as 2.4 GHz signals.
    If your Mac is in close proximity to the AirPort Extreme, it will probably connect to the 5 GHz band. If you take your Mac to the other end of the house, it will probably connect to the 2.4 GHz band. The point is, the Mac will choose the best signal quality and connect automatically based on its location in relation to the AirPort Extreme.
    If you are curious to know which band the Mac is connecting to at an given time, hold down the option key on your Mac while you click on the fan shaped AirPort icon and look for the Channel setting. You will see either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz displayed.

  • How do i use the airport extreme to extend my wireless network

    How do i connected my airport extreme up to my existing network so that it can extend my wireless through out the house ??
    Can it be done wirelessly or do i need an ethernet cable thats about 10m ?
    Keith

    The AirPort Exteme can "extend" your existing wireless network (using wireless only) if it is being provided by another Apple router.
    If your current main router is not an Apple product, then you will need to plan to connect the AirPort Extreme to your router using an Ethernet cable.
    Post back for more information if needed.

  • My Time Capsule disk shows on my iMac but not my MacBook Pro. How do I get the Airport Extreme mounted disk to show as an available Time Machine disk on my MacBook?

    I just replaced an Airport Express with a new Airport Extreme. My iMac recognizes the external hard disk I have connected to the Airport Extreme, and my Time Machine is backing up to it. But I can't get my MacBook Pro to recognize the disk as available for Time Machine. Both are running Mavericks, and the MacBook is only a couple of months old.

  • How do I prevent the Airport Extreme router from dropping with DSL when a call comes in?

    I just installed a new Aiport Extreme 802.11n router. I am using DSL and it works great until someone calls me. When the phone rings and my answering machine answers the call the router drops and start flashing amber.My old router did not have this problem. Is there an option I can set that will prevent the router from dropping when someone calls me?

    The AirPort Extreme should be configured to "create a wireless network" with the same WiFi network name, security type (usually WPA2 Personal) and password as your existing router. It should be configured as connection type Ethernet and be in bridge mode.

  • How do you uninstall the Airport Extreme

    I'd like to uninstall and then reinstall the Airport Extreme router because I somehow deleted some of the settings and now I can get my TV to connect to the wireless.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thank you for the reply.  I actually figured it out about 2 hours after I posted here.  Appreciate you taking the time to assist.

  • How do I add an airport extreme to a cable modem with only one ethernet port, while keeping that port connected to my Mac?

    I have a mac pro connected by ethernet to a cable modem via ethernet.    There is only one ethernet port on the modem.   
    I want to keep the Mac connected via ethernet for speed.    Is there a way that I can add an airport extreme to this set up - for my ipad and roku, and for guests to use - or do I need to buy a router to put between the modem and the mac?
    If I need a router, what kind?
    Thanks.

    The modem connects to the WAN "O" port on an AirPort Extreme router.
    The Mac Pro connects to one of the three LAN <-> ports on the AirPort Extreme router.
    Or if you do not need the ability to connect a hard drive to the USB port on the router, you can save a bit by using an AirPort Express.
    The modem connects to the WAN "O" port, the Mac Pro connects to the LAN <-> port
    Either the AirPort Extreme router or AirPort Express router will allow up to 50 wireless device to connect.
    There are many other wireless modems offered by other manufacturers as well.

  • How best to interface an airport extreme with a NAS?

    I would like to do the following:
    1) Access my NAS over my Wi-Fi network using my Airport Express running on the 5 GHz channel, locally, to access files. For back-up I have been connecting the NAS directly to the MBP with an Ethernet cable to get better throughput. How much worse would this be wirelessly. In other words, would incremental back-ups be doable over Wi-Fi, or would this be pitifully slow?
    2) Access my NAS remotely over my Wi-Fi network using Airport Express. The NAS has its own IP address, a ReadyNAS NV+.
    If #2 is not possible, how would I do this using an Apple Extreme Base Station?
    Finally, I am using a new MBP running 10.9.1 and notice that the Airport Utility is really dumbed-down compared with the utility that I was using on 10.6.8, which is sad. So, how can I see the router's performance as I was able to see previously ex. clients, real-time graph of transmission speed per device on network, and signal strengthH
    Thank you.

    Thanks Tesserax!
    for your support..
    I changed it the way you told me..
    it is very simple... and sounds very logic..
    But after I did changed it in the correct IP address of the server
    and I changed the IP address of the Internet Router (this was a must concerning the AP utility)
    1> the internet was slown down..
    2> the server was not reconisable by the iMac.. he gives the server a PC status ?!?!
    3> the connection was poor and was not found in the AP network
    very strange so I changed it to the old version
    is there really no option?
    perhaps with the DHCP? or with the Internet router?
    FYI
    I have:
    1: Internet/ connected with a HUAWEI router, recieved from my internet provider
    2: connect the Huawei router with the AP Extreme Router
    3: connect the AP Extreme router with the Server NAS
    4: AP Extreme router is the basis.. and from there I do have an Apple Airport Network

  • How do I use the Airport Extreme feature.

    For a while I have used a Netgear WGR614 wireless router, which worked fine (with a cable modem).
    At this time I have a DSL modem, and for the life of me I can NOT get this Netgear router to work anymore. The period for free phone support has expired, every call for support is now at least $ 40.00 so I am going to buy something else.
    This is available in my Powerbook:
    * Wireless Card Type: AirPort Extreme
    * Wireless Card Locale: USA
    * Wireless Card Firmware Version: 404.2 (3.90.34.0.p16)
    Is there anything I can buy from Apple that would make it possible to be wireless with this?
    I'd be gratefull for any kind of information.
    Best regards,
    Mildred Denney.

    Sorry for posting this question in the wrong forum - it's been a long day...;-)

  • How can I get two hard drives connected to the Airport Extreme. There's only 1 USB port.

    I believe I want to use TWO USB Hard Drives with my Airport Extreme, but it seems there is only 1 USB port.
    I am currently using that USB port for my backup external hard drive (works with Time Machine). But now I have decided I want a common hard drive for music, photos, etc. for the two Macs in my home to share. I read that you do that via the same port.
    What should I do? Is there a way to use 2 hard drives - a common shared and one for time machine?
    Please advise and thank you!

    Use a (powered) USB hub.
    I am currently using that USB port for my backup external hard drive (works with Time Machine).
    I hate to have to tell you this, but backing-up that way is unreliable and not supported by Apple.   See:  Using Time Machine with an Airport Extreme Air Disk.

  • HT3546 Does the Airport Extreme Base Station not work with the OS X Lion?

    Ever since updated to OSX Lion can't get our airport station to work.  Is it too old and won't work with this upgrade so do we need a newer airport?

    Suggest that you download and install AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion which should work with your older AirPort Extreme.
    You can keep both AirPort Utility 6.1 and 5.6 on your Mac and use the one that you want or need at the time.

  • How do I install the Airport Extreme card??

    Apologies if I am just being dense. In the shop they told me to do this myself at home and follow the instructions. There were no installation instructions in the box. I eventually found something on a website (not here) for 2001 iBook models (mine is 2004). Was doing fine until the card was supposed to click smoothly into the plug thingy. It doesn't. I don't want to force it in case I damage something.
    I asked them in the shop to check that this computer does take the Extreme card rather than the old one, and they said it did. Can anyone help??

    lemontree, Welcome to the discussion area!
    If you have the 12" iBook G4, the instructions can be found in KB 26277, iBook G4: CIP Instructions.
    If you have a different iBook, visit www.apple.com/support/diy/ and choose your iBook from the drop down menu.
