How much is the mbps of AirPort Extreme Base?

Hi.
I can't find this information on Apple Store, and on the internet... So anyone knows how much is the mbps of Airport?
THanks.

d b i? I am not familiar with that term.
20 dB is the nominal radio output power, if that is what you ask. This really means very little since the power of all wireless devices is limited by law. Everyone runs their routers at 100%.

  • How to use in italy an airport extreme base bought in the states?

    I have received as a gift an Airport Extreme base bought in the States and it doesn't work well. In few words it happens that the connection with the modem is discontinue. Maybe it's because it was built to be used in an "american" environment. Is there someone that can help me to understand if an US base cannot be used in Europe or what can I do to set up correctly the base? Thx a lot. Massimo
    Product: Airport Extreme
    Version: 7.7.3
    Modem: ADB Broadband DA2200

    You will simply plug the Extreme into the main router by ethernet.
    Setup the Extreme to bridge mode.
    Whatever the airport utility chooses which can be wrong.. simply press edit when it is finished.
    Change the Network setup to bridge.
    And for wireless I recommend you select a manual channel for 5ghz.. because the US model is set to North America and does not have any settings for Europe. You need to set the AE to something that overlaps.
    See the WLAN wiki and the chart for 5ghz.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WLAN_channels
    2.4ghz won't be a problem.. US is a subset of Europe.. but 5ghz are markedly different.
    Apple provide no way to change regions.

  • How to add NAS to existing Airport Extreme Base Station Network...

    Hi! I have a Airport Express network (DSL provided via a DSL modem) that is connected to the PC via ethernet, iMac 333 via Wireless adapter, and Powerbook via wireless card. I am bursting at the seams with components!!
    I have the printer set up via the AE.
    I would like to add a NAS to the works. (Just to see if it can frustrate me even more! )
    How exactly would I hook this up? Any suggestions? Has anyone done this? Have a favorite NAS device you can recommend? We are looking to install this for a centralized place to store all our music, photos, movies, etc. We have TONS of digital media to store and it is clogging up our respective hard drives!
    Thanks in advance for the help!!

    It is unclear... Do you have an AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) or AirPort Express (AX)?
    If you have an AEBS then you should have this configuration:
    DSL modem<->[WAN] AEBS [LAN]<->PC
    If that is your current setup, you would need to modify it by adding an Ethernet switch (or hub) so that it looks like this:
    DSL modem<->[WAN] AEBS [LAN]<->switch<-+->PC
    .......................................|->NAS

  • 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 to install utility or manage Airport extreme base from Win server 2003

    I hope that everybody is doing well.
    I am currently studying Server Administration and Maintenance. I am running Win server 2003 and soon to use Win server 2008, provided by the school several months ago. I am trying to install the utility for my airport extreme base in the server that I have at home to no avail. I will appreciated if somebody can help me. My options are limited I cannot buy another wireless router and I really need to do this for my studies. My server does connect to the base by the Ethernet but not I cannot manage the router in the server a major problem in the class that starts today. I will really appreciate if somebody can help to solve this issue which may be the other viable option because I cannot buy another computer I truly hope there is another option that does not include having to purchase another router I love my airport extreme base ;-D

    In finder, go to - Mac HD, Library, Preferences - drag the folder 'SystemConfiguration' into the trash
    Restart.
    Evidently, there were some corrupt files in there which, in my case, made my AP utility sporadically lose both my airport devices. Trashing that folder and the files within, and restarting automatically creates a new fresh system configurations folder. The AP Utility immediately found my hardware with this fix, but only time will tell if this was root cause and be a long-term fix.
    Best of luck.

  • 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.

  • I have installed wireless printer via the time machine/airport extreme base. Added the printer via the bonjour. There are times when the printer will display a black plug and won't print. I have to uninstall and then reinstall the printer.

    What does the black plug display mean?

    Get an Airport Express. Plug the printer into the AE with a usb cable and set up the AE to be part of the network (get an IP address from your router). You can get an older AE inexpensively on eBay.

  • How can I tell if my Airport extreme is actually running at "n" speed?

    I have an Airport Extreme (802.11n) with an attached HDD that I use for storing photos etc.
    When I try to access the photos with my MBP it is extremely slow. (so slow and frustrating that I usually take the notebook and sit beside the HDD so I can plug it in directly ... not exactly convenient)
    How can I tell if I'm getting the full performance out of the Airport Extreme?
    I have an Airport Express that I use purely for iTunes. It is NOT an 802.11n model. Will the Airport Express force the Airport Extreme to run at 802.11g speeds even if it is only used for AirTunes?
    Also I have two iPhones (3G and 3GS) in the apartment that connect to the WiFi network. If I upgrade my Airport Express to be 802.11n will I still get slower (g) network speeds because of the iPhones?
    Is there any option other than upgrading to a Time Capsule?
    thanks

    I have an Airport Express that I use purely for iTunes. It is NOT an 802.11n model. Will the Airport Express force the Airport Extreme to run at 802.11g speeds even if it is only used for AirTunes?
    Any non-"n" wireless client (including the 802.11g AirPort Express), connected to a "n" network, will reduce the overall available bandwidth for "n" devices. In addition, to allow these devices to connect, your network must operate on the 2.4 GHz radio ... which has a maximum "n" bandwidth of around 130 Mbps. The 5 GHz, with dual-channel enabled, would provide your "n" clients with 300+ Mbps.
    Also I have two iPhones (3G and 3GS) in the apartment that connect to the WiFi network. If I upgrade my Airport Express to be 802.11n will I still get slower (g) network speeds because of the iPhones?
    Yes.
    Is there any option other than upgrading to a Time Capsule?
    Yes, you may want to consider reconfiguring your AirPorts for a dual-band network by connecting the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) directly to the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) by Ethernet. In this configuration, you would have two separate wireless networks, one for the higher speed "n" clients and the other for the "g" clients.

  • Why does the new Dual-Band AirPort Extreme Base Station act as a proxy?

    The previous thread
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1531675
    has been archived and nothing came of it, but after testing, I'm certain that their findings are true.
    The Dual-Band AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) with firmware 7.4.1 acts as a proxy for TCP ports 21, 554, and 7070 when NAT is turned on. This can be verified by using Nmap on any external server known to NOT have the ports open and having Nmap return that the ports are open. You can telnet to these ports to verify that they're "open," even though they are not on the server.
    This functionality appears to be undocumented and as far as I can tell, the only way to turn it off is to put the AEBS into bridge mode and having some other device do NAT further upstream.
    As a computer professional, this functionality extremely undesirable, particularly since it is not documented and doesn't have an "off switch." I wasted a bunch of time with one of my network engineers because of this, thinking that some network router was spoofing our server. I also wasted a bunch of my time trying to detect whatever "stealthy rootkit" had opened a FTP server and some other botnet related ports on our server, when in reality, it was simply my AEBS tricking me.
    Disabling NAT-PMP ("Enable NAT port mapping protocol") does not affect this.
    Is it too much to ask to have a checkbox in the "Advanced" section of the AirPort Utility to turn this feature off?

    Welcome to the discussions forum Michael Bennett2.
    Thanks for investigating this odd behavior.
    If you want your work to be noticed by those who can effect change, you'll have to tell Apple via their feedback link. It won't do any good to post it here.

  • Is there a limit to the number of airport extremes and airport expresses one should have in a network?

    Is there a practical limit to the number of airport extreme base stations and airport express units one should have in a home network?

    Then, I had an older Airport extreme that I was thinking about connecting wirelessly in my living room and connecting the DirectV DVR to it by ethernet cable.
    Is this older AirPort Extreme the "round" version or the "square" shaped version? The "round" version will not do what you want.
    Whenever you extend an AirPort using wireless only, you will experience a loss of bandwidth (speed) on the entire network. That loss might be anywhere from 15-50% depending on how far the extending AirPort device is located from the "main" AirPort.
    Even with an excellent signal, if you have 3 AirPorts extending the signal, you will lose 40-50% of the bandwidth on the network. The other AirPorts that are being used just for music are also slowing things down.
    He thought there might be problems with using that third airport with the DVR and wondered if I should just use an Airport express there.
    It would make no difference whether you used an AirPort Extreme....assuming it was the "square" version or a new AirPort Express as far as performance is concerned.
    As to whether you connect the DVR to another AirPort, it might be OK, but you will not know until you try. 
    If you find that things slow down noticeably, you will need to look for ways to connect the AirPorts together using a wired Ethernet connection. This is always the preferred connection method since there is no bandwidth loss when you do this.
    Since downloading video places a high demand on a wireless network, you might want to look for a way to connect the DVR back to your "main" router directly using a wired Ethernet connection as well.

  • How to downgrade Airport Extreme Base Station firmware?

  • Netgear DG834G setup with Airport Extreme Base

    Until yeseterday my home network consisted of an ADLS modem connected by ethernet to an Airport Extreme base, to get additional range I have an additional Airport Extreme Base downstairs ( life before ap express). I also have a USB printer in the 1st base - all was good and life was wonderful.
    Then..... the adsl modem/router died. It was recommended that I get the Netgear DG834G as it was easy to setup blah blah blah... Long story short it is set up and I do have internet access wirelessly to part of my house - the range is terrible. I would like to use the two airport base stations I have to get acceptable coverage and also to use my printer via the USB again.
    Can anyone please tell me how to make the airport bases talk to the Netgear. BTW ... Base #1 is sitting next to the Netgear box so if it needs to be connected by ethernet it is no problem.
    Thanks much Susan

    You can connect your AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) to the Netgear via Ethernet. Configure the AEBS so that the option to distribute IP addresses is disabled.

  • Cannot access certain web sites through Airport Extreme Base Station

    I use the old (round) Airport Extreme Base Station (AEBS). Approximately three weeks ago I could no longer connect to americanexpress.com or to Godaddy or their mail servers. About a week ago the Godaddy sites started working again, but the American Express sites are still not working.
    My current setup:
    - AEBS connected to Time Warner New York cable modem
    - Three Airport Express units - two connected to speakers, and one set up with WDS to provide Ethernet access to computer (PowerMac G5), which is in a separate room from cable modem
    - I also have an Airport card in my G5 to connect directly to the wireless network (but that doesn't solve any of my problems)
    I have tried resetting all the units, and have also tried running the network with all the Airport Express units turned off, none of which as allowed me to access American Express.
    I have the exact same problems with my work-issued Windows 2000 laptop when logged in to the wireless network.
    When I plug a computer directly in to the cable modem, I have no problem accessing any of the sites, which leads me to believe that the solution somehow lies with the AEBS - I just can't figure out what it is.
    Any help/suggestions are much appreciated.
    PowerMac G5, 23" Cinema Display, Airport Extreme Base Station (802.11b/g)   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    If you're having trouble with throughput performance or just connecting to some websites, try changing the MTU value, on your Mac, to 1492. (The default value is 1500.) To do so, you can use a utility, like Cocktail or via OS X's Terminal.
    MTU will vary with connection type. Cable and non-PPPoE, can use up to 1500, whereas PPPoE connections (WinPoet, RASPPPOE, Enternet, etc.) can only use up to 1492. For secure VPN connections (i.e., IPSec) use a MTU value less than 1500.
    The best value for MTU is that value just before the packets get fragmented. To test, use the Ping utility.
    OS X: ping -D -s 1472 www.dslreports.com
    WinXP: ping -f -l 1472 www.dslreports.com
    Reduce 1472 by 10 until you no longer get the “packet needs to be fragmented” error message. Then increase by 1 until you are 1 less from getting the same error message. Add 28 more to this (since your ping packet size, not including IP/ICMP header is 28 bytes). This will be your MaxMTU. (Note: If you can ping thru at 1472, stop, you’re done! Add 28 and your MaxMTU is 1500.)

  • Multipmultiple Airport Extreme Base Stations: WDS Or "Extend Wireless Network" To Have Wired -- Wireless Bridge?

    Hello there!
    I've been looking for this info, but have as yet been unable to find it. Here's my scenario:
    I have two Airport Extreme Base Stations (both are dual band) and 3 airport expresses. The main internet connection in my house is in one room, where I have an AEBS as the main wireless router. In another room, I have a bunch of ethernet-only devices. I'd like to use the 2nd AEBS in this room, plug the ethernet devices into it and have the 2nd AEBS act as a wired <--> wireless bridge (connected to the same wireless network as the 1st AEBS). I've attempted this via "extend a wireless network," but the ethernet devices don't get past the AEBS they're plugged into. Should I instead be implementing WDS?
    I mention the airport expresses as I'd like to have airtunes & wireless signal in other areas, but would like to keep the set-up as simple as possible (i.e., not config the AXes for WDS unless it's required).
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Unlike the 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn), the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) cannot be configured as a wireless Ethernet bridge.
    However, there are at least two ways to configure it to provide wired clients access:
    Connect the second AEBSn back to the first by Ethernet; reconfigure the second AEBSn as a bridge and disable its wireless radios, or
    Reconfigure both AEBSns into an extended wireless network. For 802.11n AirPorts, this would be called a dynamic WDS. The AEBSn, connected to the Internet would be the "main" base station and it would only require that you enable the "Allow this network to be extended" option in the AirPort Utility. The extending AEBSn would need to be configured with the option, Wireless Mode = Extend a wireless network, enabled.
    In both configurations, the second AEBSn's Ethernet ports would be enabled for wired clients.
