HT4260 what is the actual range of airport extreme in meters ? can  it cover my whole home if it is in the range of 50 meters of radius ?

What is the actual range of the Airport Extreme in Metres? Can it Cover up to 50m in Radius?

What is the actual range of the Airport Extreme in Metres? Can it Cover up to 50m in Radius?
50m would be approximately the range.....if there were no walls or obstructions in the path the wireless signal must travel.
Since we know nothing about how many walls, ceilings or other obstructions there might be the path that the wireless signal would take in your home, or the construction type of those obstructions, we cannot even make a guess about whether the AirPort Extreme might provide a signal to cover your home.

  • I just changed the channel on my Airport Extreme and now can't get the Airport Express to recognize the network.  What do?

    I changed the channel on Airport Extreme to get away from interference.  Now I can't get my airport express to recognize the network.  What do I do?

    I would suggest that you perform a "hard" reset on the AirPort Express Base Station (AX), and then, using the AirPort Utility, reconfigure it "join" or "extend" the AirPort Extreme as appropriate for your networking requirements.

  • My macbook seems to be very slow in connectivity to the internet using our airport extreme while others can just go buzzing along surfing the net and/or downloading items. What gives with mine?

    i don't understand why my Macbook seems to balk or go incredibly slow when I'm trying to connect or surf the internet at home. When I'm at work ( I use a company owned laptop and have used one of their laptops for several years, this one noe for about three years but have just started having this problem in the last 6 - 8 months) it works fine but at home slow, slow, slow!!! at home it takes about 3-5  minutes for any page to load in and if there are a lot of images or videos to load, well take a coffee break while it loads in when you come back the page might, might be loaded. I'm using my partners ibook G4 right now and connectivity is great no problem but mine had yet to even load in the apple homepage yet and I had to go get this one, turn it on, open up a browser, log in, type my question out and yet over on my laptop, it's still trying to load.Can anyone give me a clue as to what's going on?

  • What is the default ip address for the Time Capsule and Airport Extreme?

    What is the default ip address for the Time Capsule and Airport Extreme?

    Open Airport Utility to find out the real IP address of the network connection. DHCP addresses are assigned by the router in the range chosen in Airport Utility.

  • Extending the range of Airport Extreme in house with walls

    Any sugggestions on the best way to extend the range of Airport Extreme? The base unit is located in an office at one end of a house. I would like to be able to connect from rooms at the other end of the house, some 70' away. There are three walls betgween the base and the far room.

    I have essentially the same problem, except that our router is a Netgear product (NOT my choice, my husband is a PC guy). I get a great connection when my G5 is on the desk, but if I put it under the desk (which is where I really, really want it) I get nothing.
    Will an Airport Express do anything for me? Or do I need to get an AirPort Extreme router? If I get an Airport Extreme router and locate it closer to my computer can I set it up to work with the same cable internet service we have the Netgear connected to? Or do I have to have a totally separate service? My computer is downstairs, the Netgear is up. Moving it is not an option. Our house is wired for cat 5 throughout. (No idea if this matters, I'm clueless on this stuff). Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

  • What happens if I add an Airport Extreme to the Time Capsule network?

    It is difficult to get a signal at one end of our house. We are using TC as the network router. If I set up my older Airport Extreme to relay signals will it slow down transmission speed? I think the AE is operating at "g" frequency while TC is at "n" so having the slower router in the mix, does it make everything run slow?

    If you need to extend your TC wirelessly, you will only be able to do so via a Wireless Distribution System (WDS) with the 802.11g AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS). WDS only supports 802.11g, which would impact the overall bandwidth performance of the TC. Typically, the overall bandwidth decreases by one-half for each base station added to the WDS. Since the WDS is operating in 802.11g, you could expect the bandwidth to be around 54/2=27 Mbps.

  • HT1998 My iPAD can use the internet through my airport extreme, but the airport utility does not see it so I can't create a guest password.  What am I doing wrong?

    My iPAD can use the internet through my Airport Extreme, but the Airport Utility does not see the device so I can't set a guest password. 

    If your Mac is using the Lion operating system with recent updates, it will be necessary to download and install AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility 5.6
    Select the AirPort Extreme and click Manual Setup
    Click the Wireless tab just below the row of icons
    Click the Wireless Network Options button
    Remove the check mark next to Create a closed network
    Click Done, then click Update to save the new settings and allow 25-30 seconds for the AirPort Extreme to restart

  • Is there ANY way to configure the wired ports on Airport Extreme with 7.6.1 software?

    I need to connect a Cisco router to one of the wired ports because I'm creating a home lab with several switches and routers and attached hosts. I need the VERY BASIC ability to set (or even just to SEE) what IP address the AirPort is using/assigning, but with the current AirPort Utility, you apparently can't show the DHCP table for wired connections or set up a static pool of addresses to use or really, to do anything else that is ABSOLUTELY BASIC networking configurations for a router. I don't even know what range of IP addresses the AirPort is using for the wired ports.
    I love this device - it works much better than my old Linksys that I replaced a couple years ago, but this is the Apple Nannies taking things too far. Sure, make the products easy to configure and use, but stop taking away the ability for advanced users to actually use the product because all you're doing is ******* off your power users - which are the exact people whose friends always ask for recommendations on what products to buy. I've always recommended Apple products to everyone, but if they're going to engineer everything so that only stupid people can use them, then only stupid people will buy (and recommend) them. (Can you tell I'm annoyed that I've wasted so much time on a completely unnecessary and irrelvant side-issue when I should be already working on my actual work project?)
    /Rant-off
    So, does anyone know how to access the actual configuration of the AirPort Extreme so I can use a static IP address for my Cisco router that's plugged into one of the AirPort's wired ports? That's all I need.
    Thanks.

    The AirPort assigns IP addresses via DHCP in a range you specify. You may also elect to assign devices their own static IP addresses. That does not involve the Extreme at all, though you may "reserve" those addresses in its DHCP Reservations table.
    AirPort Utility > Network > Network Options...
    Assigning static IP addresses obviates any need to determine the IP addresses the Extreme assigns.
    Update its firmware to version 7.6.3.

  • How to set-up new Airport Express to extend range of Airport Extreme

    Purchased a new Airport Express to use it as a range extender on existing home network with an operating Airport Extreme base station. While I've read instructions, I'm unclear whether the Express needs to be connected by ethernet cable for its initial setup, or can I simply plug it and initialize it wirelessly onto the same household network? (I've tried the latter but without success).

    to edex67 and Bob Timmons:
    My objective is to extend the wireless range of the Airport Extreme base station wirelessly - so I do appreciate that the Airport Express would needsto be located haflway between the base station and the "dead zone" area.
    The suggestion of using a Powerline ethernet connection to the Airport Express has merit (especially as I have one available).
    I continue to use OSX 10.6.8 - does this affect my set-up in any way?
    My problem had been - and remains - how to configure the Airport Express in range extend mode - I did click these boxes on both the Extreme base station and the Express, however the Express still has flashing amber lights and error codes - one indicating no internet availability on the Airport Express.

  • How do I find the WPA for my Airport Extreme?

    How do find the WPA for Airport Extreme?

    It asks for my SSID,
    SSID is a fancy term for the actual name of a wireless network. So, you have two basic settings for  a wireless network:
    1) The actual Name of the network, or SSID. You set this up when you set up the AirPort Extreme.
    2) The Password of the wireless network. You also set this up when you set up the AirPort Extreme.
    I know the password, but it has two capitalized letters and in the Sony set up I can't find a way to get caps, just lower case
    Then it would be a good idea to change the wireless network password to all lower case letters to allow things to match up.
    It is also a good idea to keep the name of the wireless network....or SSID....simple.
    Use only normal letters and numbers.....with no special characters like an apostrophe, dollar sign, asterisk, etc. 
    Keep the wireless network name short.....no more than 20 characters with no blank spaces in the name. Mine is twndb for example.
    Same general guidelines for the wireless network password, except the password must have at least 8 characters.

  • I have already bought a macbook pro in USA and I want to use it in Europe. What adapter I need for my Airport Extreme?

    I have already bought a macbook pro in USA and I want to use it in Europe. What adapter I need for my Airport Extreme?

    No power adaptor is needed as the power units are auto-switching. But you will need wall outlet adaptors such as you will find in Apple's World Travel Kit, at AAA stores, and other vendors.

  • I have a Airport Extreme 802.11n and my T.V. is a panisonic,I keep losing the connection. Anybody have any answers?

    I have a Airport Extreme 802.11n and my T.V. is a panisonic,I keep losing the connection. Anybody have any answers?

    Plenty of suggestions.. only you can find out which one is correct.
    What model AE? What firmware?
    Since Panasonic TV is not apple it will use SMB windows type networking.. everything but Apple does.
    Are the names in the AE all SMB compatible.. ie short.. max about 20 characters.. no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    Is the security set to WPA2 Personal with a pure alphanumeric password of 10-20 characters.. more is fine if you suffer paranoia but isn't needed.
    Fix the wireless channels.. so it doesn't flip flop like a dying fish.
    There are only 3 channels for 2.4ghz that do not overlap, 11, 6, 1  although someone suggested 8 works well if you have heaps of interference. If you live in flat/apartment building you have heaps of interference.
    Lastly is it stable if the distance is 3M direct line of sight?
    If not then get a high power wireless AP and use that instead.

  • Is there a difference between the early version of Airport Extreme and the current model?

    I have an Airport Extreme I purchased in 2008.  It has a flat top.  Are the new models of Airport Extreme any improvement?

    Your model is able to produce a 2.4 GHz wireless network....OR.....a 5 GHz wireless network, but not both at the same time.
    Generation 2 through 5 of the AirPort Extreme feature simultaneous dual band operation, so both a 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz network are produced at the same time. Your newer faster devices will connect to the 5 GHz band and the older slower, or mobile devices like an iPhone will connect to the slower 2.4 GHz band.
    This way, the slower devices will not slow down the faster devices as they normally would on a single band router like your Generation 1 model.
    In addition, Generation 2 through 5 also have a Guest Network feature, which allows you to set up a separate network just for "guests'. This way, the guests can connect to the Internet, but they cannot "see" any of the devices on your "main" or private network.
    The latest Generation 5 model incorporates a new antenna design which seems to provide better range and signal penetration as well.

  • Short short range with airport extreme card

    Hello,
    my neighbour bought an Airport Extreme Card for his iBook, in order to connect (wireless) to my airport express base station. (our flats are adjacent). His mac is an iBook G4 with OS X 10.3.4
    We installed the card, the airport software, but no network appeared in the network menu...
    We had to move to my flat and take his iBook very close from the Airport Express Base Station... and then, we were able to connect. But the quality of connection was very poor.
    The network works fine, my computer and the one of my Wife (a Mac and a PC) connect perfectly.
    Do you have an idea of what could be wrong ?
    Compatibility between the iBook and the card ?
    Card with a defect ?
    Software problems ?
    Thank you a lot for helping.

    Charles, Welcome to the discussion area!
    Did you properly connect the antenna wire to the AirPort Extreme card? Look at the photos in KB 108039, Properly attaching the antenna on an AirPort Extreme Card. It can take more force than most people think to get the antenna wire properly connected.

  • How can I find the router number for airport extreme card?

    I am trying (unsuccessfully) to wirelessly connect my PlayStation 3 to my iMac Duo using the built in Airport Extreme Card.
    Can someone please tell me how to find the router number for the built-in Airport? I am using OSX 10.4.9. The wireless card type on my Mac info is "Airport Extreme (Ox14E4, Ox89)".
    Thanks in advance.

    Since the iMac is using OS X's Internet Sharing, the iMac is acting as a router. The router IP address created by the iMac is dependent on the IP address assigned to the iMac. The first 2 numbers are the same but the last 2 are .2.1.
    For instance:
    If your iMac is getting an IP address of 192.168.0.200 your Mac's router IP address will be 192.168.2.1
    Similarly, if your iMac is getting an IP address of 10.0.1.200 your Mac's router IP address will be 10.0.2.1
    So
    Open Network Utility.
    Click on "Info". Under "Please select a network interface for information" select "Network Interface (en0)" to see what IP address the iMac has been assigned.
    Click on "Info". Under "Please select a network interface for information" select "Network Interface (en1)" to see what IP address the iMac is using as the router address on the wireless interface.
