How to add old airport extreme 11g to new airport extreme 11n to extend network?

I am trying to use my old Airport Extreme 11g to extend my wireless network from my newer Airport Extreme 11n. Are they compatible?

They are, but you may want to think twice before using this approach. The reasons are: 1) The extended network will only operate in the 802.11g Radio Mode, and 2) The overall bandwidth will be reduced by half for each base station added. Since this will be a "g" network, you'd be getting around 25-27 Mbps maximum of bandwidth.
If you still would like to pursue this, please check out the following Apple Support article for the details.

  • How to connect old aiport express to my new Airport Extreme? My Ipad says "base station e5713b cannot be configured" and my AirPort tool on my PC will not permit me to add my new Airport Extreme network (no network names to choose from)

    How to connect old aiport express to my new Airport Extreme?
    I have a PC running with Win7 and just replaced my Jensen With a brand New Airport Extreme.
    I have set up the Airport Extreme to the internet, Iphones and Ipads and it work as it should.
    I have downloaded latest Version of Airport tool on my PC. In addition i have downloaded the airport tool for Ipad.
    I have reset one of my airport Express and it now shows up both on the Ipad and on the PC airport tool.
    My Ipad says "base station e5713b cannot be configured."
    I have wired the airport Express to my Ethernet to be able to "see it" on my Airport tool.
    My AirPort tool on the PC will not permit me to add the airport Express to my new Airport Extreme network (no network names on the drop-down list to choose from). I wished for an easy set-up, but nothing seems to be plug and play as the Commercial says.. can you please help me?

    Hi
    Thanks for Swift reply.
    Yep - I in fact have two A1088 and one A1264
    I actually bought the new router because the Jensen
    router always lost connection to the Airport Express after some hours or days. I
    always needed to restart my Jensen to play music and that was driving my wife
    mad. The hope was that the Extreme should fix this. Both A1088 have been set up
    to only stream music to two of my stereo amplifiers from my PC’s Itunes library.
    Are the A1088 now useless?
    The A1264 has been set up to feed internet into a Denon Reciever that needed Ethernet cable.
    Please advise
    Regards
    Sigve

  • I want to replace a four year old Time Capsule for a new Airport Extreme, how difficult is it?

    I want to replace a four year old Time Capsule for a new Airport Extreme, how difficult is it? The ADSL connection come from a Modern Router provide by the local Telephone company.

    Reply back when you get the new device, but in short, you'll have to put your extreme in bridge mode and just connect the same wires as your current TC.

  • I have replaced my airport extreme with a new airport time capsule and want to know how I can set up my extreme to extend/strengthen my Wi-Fi?

    I have replaced my airport extreme with a new airport time capsule and want to know how I can set up my extreme to extend/strengthen my Wi-Fi?

    Start with a "hard reset" (see below) then use AirPort Utility to configure it.
    When asked what you want to do with it, indicate that you want it to add to an existing network, similar to the following screenshot.
    Follow the prompts that will eventually lead you to the words "wirelessly extend..." as shown.
    To "hard reset" an AirPort Base Station: make sure it's powered up, then press and hold its tiny reset button and keep it depressed for five to ten seconds, long enough for its LED to flash amber rapidly. Release the reset button. Then, the LED will glow amber steadily for about a minute. Then, it will flash amber, slowly, about once every second or two, waiting for you to configure it with AirPort Utility.

  • Any tricks to swapping out my old time capsule with a new airport extreme I am also using airport expresses

    Any tricks to swapping out my old time capsule with a new airport extreme I am also using airport expresses?  The hard drive on the TC quit working.

    I do plan on using an external USB HDD for time machine backups.  I have both 802.11g and 802.11n used for playing music via stereos.
    I would recommend against it. Apple does not support Time Machine backups to AirPort Disks (USB HDD attached to the AirPort Extreme). Although folks have done so, we get a number of them here asking for help with their corrupted backups. If your backups are critical to you, please use another means (like connecting the USB HDD directly to your Mac) to do so.

  • I would like to replace my old AE 802.11g with new version 802./11n - How do I connect

    I have just bought a new Airport Express (802.11n wi-fi)  and would like to use it as the base station in place of the older version (802.11g).
    The old one to be used in another room connecting to my sound sytem as an extention to the new one.
    Both of these AEs  utilise different Aiport Utility (5.6 against 6.1).
    Can anyone please give me some detailed explanations of  how I can set-up these devices, if indeed they are possible.
    Alan

    Sorry, just to make sure: Do you want the older 802.11g Express just for iTunes streaming or (in addition) to extend the wireless range of the newer 802.11n Express? If it is the latter, you may want to reconsider doing so as the only way to extend with "mixed" base stations is with a Wireless Distribution System (WDS).
    A WDS has two major disadvantages: 1) It can only operate in the 802.11g radio mode, basically negating the advantage of your 802.11n Express, and 2) For every base station added to the WDS, the overall bandwidth is cut in half. So starting with 54 Mbps (for 802.11g), your extended wireless network will be running around 25-27 Mbps.

    I want to put all my photos to one place, how to upload old Photos to iCloud Photo library, not making separate folder in iCloud what is not visible on iPhone Photo app.

    As I understand it, you need to wait until the iCloud Photo app is launched next year.  I got round it a little by sharing some of my albums, but not to anybody in particular.  I can see these shared folders on my iPhone 5s, but they still don't show in iCloud.com>Photos.

  • How to use old archieve logs with a new control file

    Environment:
    ORACLE_BASE="/export/home/oracle"
    ORACLE_HOME="/export/home/oracle/product/8.1.6"
    NLS_LANG=".UTF8"
    2 partitions:
    i) /data1 -- contains important datafiles (OS striping on 3 hard
    disks)
    ii) /export/home -- contains the oracle program, and SYS/SYSTEM
    datafiles
    Problem:
    -/data1 cannot be read/mount (damaged)
    -oracle failed
    Action Performed:
    -reinstalled OS
    -mount /export/home successfully (all oracle system files,
    instance init files exist)
    -/data1 is an empty partition
    -created the oracle user, and its groups
    -chown recusively for the $ORACLE_BASE directory
    -set all the oracle environment variables
    -attempted to start the instance, but failed due to a control
    file was
    missing
    -since control files were set to be mirrored, i copied a control
    file somewhere
    from /export/home/oracle/oradata/<SID>/control1.ctl to
    /data1/oracle/oradata/<SID>/control2.ctl (i.e. have them back to
    their original locations)
    -the instance failed to start as well, since the datafile set in
    the control files couldn't be found
    -this forced me to re-create the control file... b4 i re-create
    a new control file, i backed up the old one
    -once the control file was created, the database can be started,
    but, to oracle, all achieve log information are lost (although
    the achieve log's physical files r still there)
    -i imported the important data from a dump file that was
    exported a week ago b4 the system failure
    -since we r using the new control file, the redo logs switch
    contains no achieve log information that the old control file
    has, so running "recover database" doesn't do anything
    Purpose:
    since the dump file is a week old, i'd like to get the data
    after my last export and b4 the system failure. the database was
    run in arhieve log mode, how can i recover those data with the
    new control file
    Question:
    -how can we create a new control file that can drive the old
    achieve logs?
    -can we convert the achieve log data (.dbf format) into text
    format?
    -can we still use the old control files to start the database?
    -what's a suggested solution if we'd like to re-construct the
    database up to the moment b4 the system failure in another
    server?
    thx

    I am in an unenviable position, with an unsupported database.
    We are running Oracle 9i on Windows XP. We are upgrading soon to Oracle 11g on a newer platform, but need to get our development environment working first.
    We lost a system that was running our development database without having a database export. The C drive was placed into a new system as the D drive.
    I have loaded Oracle 9i on the C drive, but I have been unable to determine how to point it to the existing data files on the D drive. My search skills may be the limiting factor here...
    We cannot simply load the drive as C, since the hardware is different.
    What are the steps to point the new database software at the data files on the D drive? Or, how do I copy the old data files into the new Oracle Home and have them recognized properly?
    Are you stating that you don't know how to use COPY command?
    Can you recreate same directory structure on new C drive as exist on old C drive?
    Can you then drag & drop copies of the files?

  • How to add an existing content database to new Site collection

    Hi All,
    Can anyone help to figure out how can I add existing content database to a new site collection in SharePoint 2013 foundation.
    We have more than 40 site collections under one web application, and only one site collection is returning 404 error. When checked in the central admin to view all site collections, the details on the right side of the site is not visible, and unable
    to delete it. The database is not corrupt, as I tried to add the same content database to a new web application, and it works perfectly in a new web app.
    As we couldn't find any solution, the only option we thought of was to blow the site collection and create a new one and add the exisiting database, but I am unaware as to how can I add existing database to new create site collection. Can anyone help
    me with this please?
    Regards,
    DJ

    It's working....
    The current database was corrupt I guess, (not sure though). Took old backup file and tested to see if it's working. After the test was successful...
    Removed the current database in CA
    Delete the current database in SQL server
    Restored the working backup file in SQL server
    Added the content db in CA
    That's it... the site collection is working now...

  • 802.11g dome + New Airport Express?

    I have an older Airport Extreme (dome) in my office. My kids use it for their iMac (about 20 feet down the hall) and my wife for her Macbook Pro. The network strength is just awful and my kids are constantly coming into my office and trying to move the dome into a better position to increase signal strength. I went down to the Apple store and bought an Airport Express, figuring I could use that to extend the range of the network and I thought that's what I had done, but looking at it now, it says "join a wireless network as opposed to "extend a wireless network". It doesn't allow me to extend the network. Hmmm..
    What are my options here?
    Do I need to get a newer Airport Extreme?
    Can I simply use the Airport Express as the "main" Airport and create a new network using that instead of the old dome extreme?
    Is there some way to take advantage of both the old dome extreme and the new express to get a decent wi-fi network going in my house?

    Do I need to get a newer Airport Extreme?
    Yes, if you want to use the AirPort Express to "extend" the wireless network using wireless only. The Express would need to be located where it can receive a strong signal from the AirPort Extreme.
    Can I simply use the Airport Express as the "main" Airport and create a new network using that instead of the old dome extreme?
    Yes, but you won't be able to use the old AirPort Extreme at all, so you'll still only have one wireless device producing a wireless signal with limited coverage.
    Is there some way to take advantage of both the old dome extreme and the new express to get a decent wi-fi network going in my house?
    Yes, if you connect the AirPort Express to the AirPort Extreme using an ethernet connection. The best way to do this is run an ethernet cable from the AirPort Extreme to the location where the AirPort Express will be used.
    If you can't run the ethernet cable, a pair of ethernet powerline adapters could be used to allow the AC powerline in your home to conduct the pseudo ethernet signal.

  • Can older Airport Express work with new Airport Extreme?

    I had an older airport base station (dome shaped) and I was extending it with an Airport Express. I didn't need extra range, it was so I could play my iTunes from my laptop through my home speakers (or use my iPhone to do the same). Now I bought one of the newer flat Base Stations but I can't seem to get it to hook up to the old Express so I can still play my music. Do the old Express's not work with the new base stations?
    And if not, is there any other way for me to be able to play music wirelessly to my home stereo from my mac and iPhone/iPods, like I was able to do before?

    Im thinking my Airport Express has failed. I tried hard resetting it several times and I can see it through Airport utility, nor my iPhone. The iPhone sees it, but it cannot set it up.
    Looks like I need to get a new Airport Express no matter what. Ive had it for a Looooong time. So I guess its number was finally up.
    Thanks for the response seancobrien.

  • How to transfer old icloud id stuff to new account id?

    Hi all!!
      Ok I have a friend who has an iPhone 6 and his wife an iPad (old iPad using large usb cable) and they have an
    iMac (no DVD drive) and they use the same iCloud id's on both devises now the part to do 2 separate iCloud id's
    I can do no problem BUT the part I'm not sure how to do is to transfer Contacts, Calendar, Photos, music,
    apps etc…. from the old iCloud id to the new one without loosing anything. This change will be done on the iPad side
    So what to do?? I didn't tell them yet that it was gona be easy to do because I have no idea what's involved to do this
    transfer so I need help to do this step by step (no geek language please). They have OSX 10.10 on iMac and iOS 8.2
    on both devices.
    THANKS ALL!!!

    Technical part is as easy as it gets, you just sign out of icloud and when prompted you keep what you are allowed to keep. Stuff that you will not have a choice is really minor, but if you want to - you can backup that stuff by emailing photostream pictures or documents in the cloud. Once sign out - sign back in to new id.
    Legal part is however different - while you are allowed to keep all those applications, music on ipad, it  belongs to old apple id still. Legally, so when it is time to update app you need to enter password for old account or delete an app and redownload for new account. If it is not free you have to pay again. Normally though families do not mind doing updates under the same id, as long as icloud and imessage/facetime are separate.

  • How to add newly imported audio - as a new storyline/angle to existing multi cam Project??

    I have a 6 camera multi cam Music Video Project I have been working on in depth for 5 days. The "band" has sent me a new & improved .wav file to replace the audio I have been working with on one "song". I have imported it into the event, cannot figure out how to add it as a new angle (that I will manually sync on the timeline) and then make it the active audio monitor angle. I see ways to "connect it" but not how to have it appear in the 6up display & on its own story/time line in the precision editor. This is like reinventing the wheel. I am losing mu mind. Please help?

  • How re-assign old bank statements to a new bank account?

    Hi Folks,
    Actually, we have a bank account and use to enter bank statements for the same account for reconciliation purpose. But later we found some mistake in that bank account "GL accounts", so we tried to update the problematic GL account, but Oracle is not allowed us to do so. Hence, we have entered end-date for the same bank account and created one more new account. Now, how can we re-assign all those old bank statements to the new bank account? Can any expert help us in this issue?
    Thanks in advance.
