I am using an Airport Extreme for wireless and a Netgear VPN Switch for wired connections. How do I get the two networks to connect?

I am using an Airport Extreme for wireless and also have a Netgear VPN Switch (FV5318) for internal wired ethernet connections. How do I get the two networks to connect to each other?

Tesserax, I would like to keep the Airport Extreme in nplace before the Netgear FVS318 switch because I am using all of the 8 ethernet outputs distributed to 8 differerent locationsl This way I can just use one of the LAN outputs from the Airport to feed the FVS318. Here is what I think I am hearing you say:
Tne reason why the wired and wireless devices are not communicating is because the FVS318G is also a DHCP server and in conflict with the AEBS.
To remedy the situastion here is probably what I need to do in order:
1. Change the LAN IP Address of the Netgear FVS318G to be the same subnet of the Airport Extreme.
2. Then, disable the Netgear FVS318G as a DHCP server.
3. Make sure the ethernet cable from the LAN port of the Airport Extreme connectis to the LAN port of the Netgear FVS318G.
4. Restart everything.
Can you provide me the steps I need to take to get the right IP addresses from the Airport Extreme to put into the Netgear to fix the conflict? I have the Airport Utility. I also have two airport express hot spots, and two Apple TVs in addition to computers attached to the 8 ethernet lines.
Thank you.

Using both Airport Extreme Base Station and Airport Express

I am using a Airport Extreme and a AX, my goal is to use the base unit on one floor of the home and they AX as an extender.
I have linked the AX unit to join the existing network, now how to do I enable WEP 128 bit?

Here are the WDS setup steps...
AEBSn - WDS Setup
(Note: To facilitate the WDS set up, place the base stations within near proximity of each other during the set up phase, and then relocate them to their desired locations when complete.)
Main Base Station Setup (AEBSn)
o Click the AirPort status menu in the menu bar and choose the wireless network created by the base station you want to set up as the main base station.
o Open AirPort Utility (located in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder on a Macintosh computer, or in Start > All Programs > AirPort on a computer using Windows).
o Select the main base station, and choose Manual Setup from the Base
Station menu, or double-click the base station to open the configuration in a separate window.
o Enter the base station password if necessary. If the base station is using the default password of public, you will not be prompted for a password.
o Click Wireless in the toolbar, and then choose “Participate in a WDS network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu.
o Click WDS and then choose “WDS main” from the WDS Mode pop-up menu.
o Select the “Allow wireless clients” checkbox if you want client computer to connect to this base station.
o Click the Add "+" button and enter the MAC address of the base stations you want to connect to this base station.
o Click Update to send the new settings to the base stations in the WDS.
Remote Base Station Setup (AX)
o Click the AirPort status menu in the menu bar and choose the wireless network created by the base station you want to set up as a remote base station.
o Open AirPort Utility (in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder on a Macintosh computer, or in Start > All Programs > AirPort on a computer using Windows).
o Select the remote base station, and choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu.
o Enter the base station password, if necessary. If the base station is using the default password of public, you will not be prompted for a password.
o Enter the same network password as the main base station, if necessary.
o Click AirPort in the toolbar and click Wireless. Choose “Participate in a WDS network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and choose the same channel as the main base station from the Channel pop-up menu.
o Click WDS and choose “WDS remote” from the pop-up menu.
o Enter the MAC address of the main base station in the WDS Main field. The MAC address is also referred to as the AirPort ID and is printed on the label on the bottom of the base station.
o Click Update to transfer the settings to the base station.

Anyone else have a problem printing from an iMac OS-X 10.9.3 to a wireless Epson Artisan printer? Sometimes it prints but must often I get "The printer is not connected" and I have to retry printing 8, 10 or 12 times before it will print?

Anyone else have a problem printing from an iMac OS-X 10.9.3 to a wireless Epson 835 Artisan printer? Sometimes it prints but must often I get "The printer is not connected" and I have to retry printing 8, 10 or 12 times before it will print? I have followed all the instructions from Epson about upgrading, etc. but it is very frustrating when I have to repeatedly try to print. Epson says talk to Apple???

Try checking thru these, maybe some help.

Also try deleting the printer from your printer Q system preferences, then reinstalling it (highlight the printer click the minus symbol, then click the plus symbol and add it again. Reboot, and try.

Silly question, maybe. I want to change from Verizon DSL to cable, but cable company doesn't supply router. can I use my Airport Extreme as wireless router?

We currently have the following wireless home-network configuration, powered by Verizon DSL.
2 macbook pro’s
1 emachine
HP PhotoSmart 6122 all-in-one printer
Apple TV
Apple Airport Extreme Base Port A 1408
Westell 7500 router
Thinking I’d get wider wireless coverage throughout my 2 bedroom home, I purchased the Airport Extreme. It is connected to the router via its sole usb port. The result was only a tiny increase in speed, and no increase in coverage, so I don’t know why I have it.
We now want to change from DSL to cable, thus ditching Verizon. Our new cable provider supplies the cable box, but no router for wireless networking.
Here are my questions.
Can I use the Airport Extreme (AE) as a wireless router?
If so, how should I hook it up? Should the usb cable go from the AE to the cable box, and all the other devices connect wirelessly?
If not, how should I be using the AE to some advantage? What can I get out of the investment?
Thank you very much for your help! Beatriz

What I wrote has nothing to do with what the cable company charges for their installation. And, usually they will help with the router setup even if you supply your own router. I don't know what they will charge for the modem.
Note that you need to get just a modem. You don't want a modem/router combination. That will make using an AEBS effectively nearly impossible. You will need to ask specifically for just a standalone modem, and that you will supply your own router.

Using several Airport Extremes to create and extend corporate + guest wifi

hello all,
my office has purchased 6 airport extremes for our new office, AirPort Extreme 802.11ac (6th Generation), running version 7.73
the plan was to hard wire one extreme via the wan port and create both a corporate and guest network
then link to the others throughout the office by wirelessly extending to provide complete coverage
after moving around the location of one or two units my coverage is now complete across the office space
my setup is as follows:
my network is a windows active directory setup where one of my domain controllers is my DHCP server in the range 192.168.x.x
to enable the guest network on my extremes i need to have my first hard wired (wan port) extreme unit configured in DHCP mode
this airport extreme has pulled down an ip address from my windows server in the range 192.168.x.x
the extreme then uses its own dhcp range to provide connectivity to my clients, 172.16.x.x for corporate wifi and 10.0.x.x for guest wifi
my issue is
the dhcp range that the extreme uses for all my corporate wifi users is 172.16.x.x
i cannot access any servers on my windows network 192.168.x.x by drive maps/hostnames as they are challenged for authentication
I can only access by using ip addresses instead of hostnames
all of my shares and wired users are configured to use hostnames for file shares, printers etc on my servers
the first extreme gets its DNS info from my windows dhcp server correctly but these settings are not passed down to my wifi clients
is there a way to do this ?
I have tried using the 'domain name' field on the extreme dhcp config but this had made no difference
can anyone advise on this ?
do i need to use a different setup, maybe switch to wired config ?
what i'd like to have is the following:
2 wireless networks, one for corporate users and one for guests/visitors
my corporate users to have access to all my corporate servers as their permissions allow using hostnames for access
my guest users to have internet access only
my 6 access points to be connected to each other either wired or wirelessly to provide coverage throughout my office
i was told that the 6 airport extreme's would allow me to do this but now i'm not so sure
any help or suggestions would be gratefully accepted,
thanks

You are trying to use Apple domestic products in a business setup.. this is not what they were designed for.
Could you use 3 units to cover the offices.. please have a go as this simplifies things tremendously.. just use three units in bridge.. preferably all connected to your ethernet network and so operating as AP only.
If that works then use the other 3 units for your guest network.. these should then be placed on a different vlan via your main managed switch.. so they can get internet but have no connection at all to the office network.. but other ways around it could be found. As you have already discovered a simple double NAT might sufficiently block guest access.

Airport Extreme drops wireless and resets itself about 20 times a day

hi all,
i am having wireless network issues with my Airport Extreme.
I have a secured (WPA) network set up at work using the Apple Airport Extreme. We have about 7 - 10 users on it at one time during business hours. What has been happening is our Airport resets itself and drops everyone off. This happens quite frequently but with no real pattern, sometimes it drops 5 times an hour, sometimes it goes for hours without dropping anyone.
Now this issue is not a new one for us, nor is it isolated to the Airport Extreme. Actually i have had D-Link and linksys WAP's do the exact same thing in my office.
Our offices are relatively small and its open concept (no walls between the users and the airport) however the building we are in has loads of wireless networks fighting for space. I can see over a dozen other wireless networks from my computer at any time.
Im at my wits end with this because it seems like any wireless access point we try ends up failing in the same way. They never totally pooch out, they just always shut themselves down and restart.
Couple more details about the networks
Mostly PC's but a few macs.
The Airport is set to use interferance robustness as well as auto-channel switching.
we have also added a airport express to this network to help boost signal strength.
As i said we have anywhere from 6 - 10 people on this network at one time, none of us doing any significant activity (just browsing and emails). But when im here alone it never drops me. it seems to relate to the # of users.
Anyone have any ideas? Im totally lost and at the point where im going to scrap wireless and just wire everyone to the network!
THANKS IN ADVANCE,
MCM

some more info.
1. I upgraded my firmware to 7.1.1 from 7.0 and still drops connections.
2. However upgrading my Airport Utility software allowed me to actually see logs after the thing restarts. This is what im getting when computers lose connections:
Aug 13 13:19:39 5 Rotated TKIP group key.

Aug 13 13:19:47 5 Associated with station 00:19:d2:ad:b5:39
i read some other forum posts (macfixit.com) that pointed to an article about this, but of course you gotta pay for it and i have limited faith in the solution. So anyone know what it means when it Rotates the TKIP group key?
could this be a security issue and not interfeaance ?
or both?
thanks,

Using an Airport Extreme 8011.ac and a Time Capsule 8011.n

Hi,I've searched and read a lot, but I'm struggling to figure out the best way to connect (using an ethernet cable) an older 8011.n TC to a new 8011.ac Airport Extreme. I wired it right and I have a green light on the AE, but the wired connection to my iMac does not work. Can someone just take me through the steps to best configure this set up? Thanks!

Connect the iMac to your router - which is either the TC or the Extreme.
Use the router's LAN port.

Apple took in my Macbook for repair, but all my files have been deleted? How do I get the data back?

So, I gave my macbook to apple for a system repair, due to a short circuit in my laptop, but all my previous settings and data have all been deleted. I recently just got this computer this september, so I have not purchased an external hard drive to back up my data, but I wanted to know if there is any way to restore all the lost data?

It is extremely likely that Apple had to restore everything to the way it was originally when you purchased the Mac in order to repair.
Since you decided not to purchase the external drive for the backup, all of your data is now lost.
Maybe now that you have lost all your data, you might reconsider the necessity to backup in the future to prevent this from happening again.

Using the Brush tool. It prints 1/3 the size as the brush views. How do I get the two to match.

For example, if I have a square brush, it will show as 3x3 but stamp as 1x1. All brushes are the same. A simple round brush will be larger than it stamps as well. I have tried using it on documents at 300. 200. and 72 dpi. Always the same. I changed the Brush Size in Preferences>cursers to Full Size Brush Tip. restarted and still the same.
What else can I do? Thank you, Rayleen

Using Pen tool to create mask _ How do you get the points to stop connecting together?

I've masked the sky over the roof of a home. Started on the left side of the photo and moved over the house detailing it to the right side of the photo. When I try to create the mask by clicking Command /enter the points on the left and right side of the image connect which makes it impossible for the mask in the sky to work.

Hi John,
Thanks. I figured it out so there’s no need.
Aloha,

I am unable to connect my PC to my Mac using the Migration Assistant. The two computers do not seem to connect and I am not sure on how to do so. I'm using an Ethernet cable and neither computer recognizes the other. How can I get the two to connect?

The PC keeps saying "Waiting for your Mac to Connect" and the Mac keeps saying "Looking for Computer" I have no clue what to do.

I suspect you didn't follow the Migration Assistant instructions. Please carefully look over:

If you still cannot get it give AppleCare a call, the number is in your owner's manual. You have 90 days of free telephone support when you purchase a new Mac. They can assist on the OS X side but remember they may not speak MS Windows.

HT1218 Using OS X (10.7.4) and I've lost my Time Capsule. How do I get it back?

I'm having problems with my Time Capsule ... no lights (green or amber). Any suggestions?

If by 'lost' you mean you accidentally removed it from the Dock, the 'original' is in your Applications folder. Just drag it's icon back to the Dock.
