If I buy an Apple Airport Extreme Base Station and I have an Optus Cable internet. Do I really need an Apple Care Protection? or I don't have to?

Hi I'm from Australia.
If I buy an Apple Airport Extreme Base Station and I have an Optus Cable internet. Do I really need an Apple Care Protection? or I don't have to?

Any specific recommendations for a standalone ADSL modem though?
Always a good idea to use the modem that your service provider supplies or recommends....often free....since you know that it will be supported in the event of connection difficulties.
I have made the mistake of choosing the "best" modem based on test reports....only to find out later that the ISP would not offer any support when I was having connection difficulties.
The ISP blamed the modem. The modem support folks blamed the ISP.

I just bought apple tv. I have an ipad mini with ios 6.1.3. I want to do the mirroring but the airplay doesn't seem to be on my ipad. Can someone help?

Yes they are both connected to the same wifi network. Do you know when you double click on the home button and swipe right? The airplay button isn't there beside the play/pause and forward and backward button. It should be there.

I have an Airport Extreme, I want to replace it with a Time Capsule. I swapped my cables to the new TC, unplugged both Cox Cable modem and Airport Extreme. Started up by plugging A/C power for Cox Cable modem, then power to TC. Result is blinking amber

I tried unplugging again and restarting the TC first, still gets blinking amber light. I even reset the TC because I was using it for backups only in the network, I just want to move it to the primary position. I don't even get the option of starting a new network.
I need help.

Blinking amber light is not the issue.. that will involve lots of issues due to your reset.
Make sure you have a computer plugged into the TC by ethernet.. do not do setups over wireless.
Even if you need to do the setup in complete isolation that doesn't matter.. it will work when you return it to the network.
Do a full factory reset.. I am not sure what resets you have done up to now.. full factory means you hold in reset before applying power.. and keep holding in reset until the front led flashes rapidly. About 10sec.
The TC must be in router mode if your cable modem is only a modem.. but I don't know if your cable modem is pure modem or modem router.. if the later then the TC should be in router bridged mode.
Once you have that right.. plug it back into the modem if you had to remove it..
Power cycle again if you need to. It can take 15min or more of modem off to reset the cable setting for MAC address.
Then you can setup wireless, although you can also do it whilst connected by ethernet which is usually better.
What airport utility are you using.. the latest one is too automatic.. stop any attempt to automate the setup and do it manually if you get stuck.
Even use the old utility is sometimes better.. 5.6 can be loaded even on Mountain Lion with a bit of a fiddle.

Apple AirPort Extreme Base Station A1521 update to 802.11ac Final?

The new Apple AirPort Extreme Base Station A1521 is 802.11ac draft. Will it be able to update to the final 802.11ac spec once it's published?

If it is a firmware update that is required, then likely yes....my opinion. If it is a hardware update that is required, Apple will have to answer that one.
In the past, the draft specifications were in fact adopted without change. No one here can predict the future though.
We'll just have to wait....since we cannot really discuss future products on this support forum.

I have a BT home Hub 3 with standard BT broadband(no infinity), how do I set up an Apple AirPort Extreme without a stand alone modem? Can I use my current Home Hub

I want to use an Apple AirPort Extreme as my home router but at present I have standard BT broadband using the BT Home hub 3. Can I connect them in some way so I don't need to buy a stand alone modem.
IS THIS POSSIBLE???
1. Would Apple AirPort Express be better and easier?
2. What modem would be suitable if I can't do it any other way?
I AM CURRENTLY USING MY INTERNET WITH PS3,WINDOWS 7 LAPTOP, IPAD AND IPHONE!!!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

You said that you wanted the layout to look like this:
AT&T 2WIRE Router (wireless off) ---> AirPort Extreme ---> NetGear 16-Port Gigabit Desktop Switch ---> ethernet cabling to ports in most rooms --->
So, we took that at face value....,.but it could look like this if things are more convenient this way, if you prefer:
AT&T 2WIRE > Ethernet Switch > AirPort Extreme and other devices.
- If we include an AirPort Extreme in the overall network setup, are there any potential issues with the 2WIRE router and the AirPort Extreme router "competing" with one another?
No, if you leave the wireless function off on the 2WIRE. If you do want the utilize the wireless on the 2WIRE and the AirPort Extreme, then you want to keep them physically separated by 6-8 feet, or a few meters.
- Do I really need an AirPort Extreme in the final setup?
No, if the AirPort Express will provide enough range for the network.
Or if I just want an extra WAP, can I operate two AirPort Express units (with the same SSID) downstream of a 2WIRE router?
Yes, if both of them are configured to operate in Bridge Mode. If you are using the "wizard" setup utility in AirPort Utility 6.x, the wizard will do this for you automatically.
That is to say, could we have a setup that looks just like the image above, but with an extra AirPort Express tacked on to one of the unused ethernet ports?
You can have as many AirPort Express devices (or AirPort Extreme devices) as you want, as long as each has an Ethernet connection back to the switch.

Arris Router then Apple Airport Extreme 7.6.4 DNS Windows Remote Desktop?

I get internet access from Arris router - Atheros AR9285 driver (obtains IP address automatically) - to Apple Airport Extreme 7.6.4 for Wifi to all home gagets. I was able to "Remote Assist" and "Remote Desktop" at home on multi Windows 7s. However, I am having problems outside when traveling because my IP address changes.
So far, I gave permission to window firewall. Next, I added a 3389 port in Apples Airport Extreme. When I am not home. I want to access my home computer. Which IP address do I enter? "What is my IP" is not going to help when I'm not home. That IP is for the Router only anyway. How do I get a static IP address? How do I connect to my super muscle home computer from my wimpy portables?

You need a static public IP which you buy from your ISP.. this is not internal LAN IP..
If your ISP cannot supply it or it is too expensive.. then you need to use dynamic DNS.. this is not going to be easy because apple do not include a DDNS client and the global domain name seems to no longer work.
Look at tesserax document on remote access.
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3413
The problem is, that is for Apple clients.. not windows. Is your wimpy portable a windows computer??
Strongly recommend using a VPN router in that case.. relegate the AE to wireless bridge duties.
If the Arris is a modem router then it will probably work.. almost every router in the world has ddns except Apple.

Creating my home network, Apple Airport Extreme & Sky

Hello all,
Hoping somebody can help, I’m attempting to set up a network in my home that works a bit like this.
Ok, we’ve had sky broadband for a few months now and have the new grey Sagem router to go with it. I also have the new Apple Airport Extreme station (and an Oldish BTHomehub v1.5, the white one… just kicking about incase its useful!)
What I want to achieve is use Time Machine on my Macbook Pro to wirelessly backup over the network to a Hard Drive plugged into the AE. I want the AE to be upstairs away from the sky router and I also want to be able to plug Ethernet devices into the AE to use the internet (somehow acquired from the router downstairs I assume) like an Xbox, laptop or anything else I might need really).
*Its important to me that the AE isn’t downstairs in the same room as the router, otherwise I would just connect it with a cable and create a wireless network from that.
On top of that (stay with me….) if the AE has the functionality to extend the wireless network further to hit the low signal spots that would help.
I’ve been reading around the internet and various support sites. I know a little about this stuff but I’m not an expert on networking, I know nothing about the different signals N, g, b etc or how IP assigning works. I read a little about WDS networking but I’m not sure which direction to head.
This is probably the closest thing I’ve found to what I’m talking about, If the bottom hub was the sky router and the top hub was the Apple AE.
http://www.jarviser.co.uk/jarviser/repeaterhubs.html
Appreciate any suggestions, thanks.

The best way by far is to run ethernet as a kind of backbone between the two stories.. on one storey setup the AE and the other you setup the TC.
I have no idea if one is the main router or not.. or both are bridged.. that doesn't really matter.. the principle is.. one router per network. So whichever is not the main router change to bridge mode.
Both should create a wireless network. You can use roaming setup, where both use identical names and identical security. See http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4260

SETTING UP HP 8600 TO APPLE AIRPORT EXTREME

I recently purchased an Apple Airport Extreme Base Station. Everything setup perfectly until I took on the task of connecting my HP 8600 All in One printer. I am hopelessly lost especially when it asked for a WEP or WPA key. Can anyone help or send me to the right place.

Will you be connecting this printer to the AirPort Extreme's USB port or via a wireless connection? I am assuming the latter since you ran aground on the WEP or WPA key question. These are types of wireless security passwords. These would be the same that you would use to connect a wireless computer to your network.
Typically, you would use the printer's front-panel interface to connect the printer to your Wi-Fi network. You want to use the default setting of the printer being a DHCP client so that it gets its appropriate IP addresses from your AirPort router. You should just need to enter the Wi-Fi network name and password into the panel settings in order for the printer to connect.

What is voltage power block at Apple Airport Extreme?

What is voltage power block at Apple Airport Extreme? 110 or 220 Volt. Or both type support.

The AirPort Extreme will operate on 100-240 Volts and 50-60 Hz, so it will work just about anywhere in the world if you have the right adapter for the wall jack.
The outboard power supply provides 12 Volts to the AirPort Extreme at about 2 Amps.

Make a wifi login/email subscribe on apple airport extreme

Hi everyone, I have been wondering for awhile now how to use an Apple Airport Extreme/Capsule/Express in my coffee shop to generate an email list.
I have searched the internet for nearly 3 hours now but no answers, well inexpensive ones.
I just want customers to be able to connect to my wifi, then have to enter their email/number/ like on Facebook or whatever.
How do I do that?

Apple routers have no such ability.
The security is setup via fixed passwords.. that do not change for each person.
You also have no right to tap into people's email accounts.

Solaris Express Developer Edition + Apple Airport Extreme

I just installed Solaris Express Develper Edition without any problems, but I can't seem to get my wireless connection up and running. I use an Apple Airport Extreme and while my MacBook with Mac OS X and my Xubuntu machine have no problems connecting to the internet through the Airport, my Solaris says he can't connect.
I allready disabled the Auto-magic stuff so I can setup the connection manually. I did it with the following two commands:
svcadm disable svc:/network/physical:nwam
svcadm enable svc:/network/physical:default
The wireless interface ath0 can detect all the available networks (including mine), so it works.
My Airport uses WPA/WPA2 Personal and DHCP.
In the Network settings of Solaris I've set the properties of the wireless ath0 interface as follows:
* enable this connection
* activate on boot
* network name (ESSID): my network is detected and I can select it from the dropdown list of available networks
* Key Type: Plain (ASCII)
* WEP key: my WEP key (the thing I filled in as WPA/WPA2 Personal on my airport)
* Connection settings Configuration: DHCP
I click OK and then try to activate the ath0 interface, but it doesn't work. The message is:
"Could noet enable the interface ath0
Check that the settings are correct for this network and that the computer is correctly connected to it".
Which is frustrating, because as far as I know, the settings are correct (ESSID, WEP, ...) and the computer is correctly connected as it can detect all the available wifi networks in my area.
Does anybody have any idea? Thnx in advace,
Nico

I just use sys-unconfig and select DHCP and off it goes.

HT3546 So i recently bought an Apple AirPort Extreme BaseStation (the mushroom shaped one) and was wondering if someone could tell me where and how to find a power cord and how to set it up with my Macintosh (2011 edition with 1.7.5) Thankyou! :)

So i recently bought an Apple AirPort Extreme BaseStation (the mushroom shaped one) and was wondering if someone could tell me where and how to find a power cord and how to set it up with my Macintosh (2011 edition with 1.7.5) Thankyou!

Welcome!
Last question first, as we need to know what operating system that the Mac is using.
If you are not sure, click the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the screen, then click About This Mac, and post back with the OS X Version number that you see there.
Two possible solutions on the power cord
ORIGINAL OEM APPLE AIRPORT EXTREME BASE STATION POWER SUPPLY AC ADAPTER A1202 if you want a white power supply and white power cord to match up with the Apple device
AC adapter for Apple AirPort A1034 Extreme B... if you don't care what color the supply and cord might be
If you don't already have a Setup Guide.....look here:
AirPort Extreme Base Station Setup Guide v4.2 (Manual)

I bought an Apple Airport Extreme used and it did not come with any software disks. how would make it work without the software disk?

Bought an Apple Airport Extreme used and it did not come with any discs. Do i need any discs? or is there another way to setup this airport without using a software disc?

You can download the setup manual and software that you need.
Look on the bottom of the AirPort Extreme for the Model Number. It's A....... something.
Post back with the model number and the exact operating system you are running on your Mac or PC.

I am considering buying an apple airport extreme i have seen them advertised with variuose storage memory 500 gb 1t etc what does the standard come w
