Is it possible to hook up a Range Extender ( Netgear WN2500RP ) to the airport extreme?

Thank you in advance guys!

By "hook up", do you mean using a wired Ethernet cable to connect the Netgear device to the AirPort Extreme?
If yes, that should be possible.
If you are asking if the Netgear can "extend" the wireless network provided by the AirPort Extreme using wireless only, I cannot say.
Apple has designed their "extend" feature to only work with other Apple devices, so I would be extremely surprised if it worked, but I suppose anything is possible.
Netgear might claim that the product is "universal", but be sure to read the footnote and disclaimer at the bottom of the page on their product literature before you buy.

  • I bought the Airport Extreme because I thought it would increase the range of the WiFi signal in my house. I have a DSL modem (also Wifi) and there are parts of the house that do not seem to have a strong Wifi signal.

    I bought the Airport Extreme because I thought it would increase the range of the WiFi signal in my house. I have a DSL modem (also Wifi) and there are parts of the house that do not seem to have a strong Wifi signal. The Airport Extreme does not seem to be increasing my Wifi signal strength? Any thoughts on what I could be doing wrong? I am able to connect to it, etc. Just thought the strength would be better.

    The broadcast power of all wireless routers and devices is limited by law.....and all manufacturers run their routers full blast.....so the relative signal strength of wireless routers from one manufacturer to another will tend to be remarkably similar.....despite the fancy advertising claims.
    You may want to consider adding another AirPort Extreme to "extend" the signal strength in your home. If you decide to do this, the "extending" Extreme would normally need to be located at a point that is approximately half the distance from your "main" AirPort Extreme and the general area that needs more wireless coverage.

  • How far is the range of the Airport Extreme and how much does it boost your Internet speed?

    We have a D-link wireless router, and it's worked fine for us, and covers the area around our house easily, but we have lots of other property too, though.  I was wondering, what is the range of the Airport Extreme?  Besides that,  I've seen some communities that say the Airport Extreme is  much faster than other routers, but since we have 1 MB per second Internet speed, would that affect speed much?  I also was thinking about getting it because we have a USB printer that we'd like to use with our macs, but it would have to be integrated to our network.  Our current router has a USB port on the back, but to connect, you have to use Shareport utility, and even then, you can only connect 1 device at a time.  It would be nice to be able to convert the USB signal to a network signal.

    Hi - it is impossible to know what you are asking without knowing the model of the Dlink - this chart might help you compare - http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/lanwan/router-charts/view - as far as the printer is concerned, the USB port on the Extreme is designed for printers and hard drives - they are recognized when plugged in and seen on your computer so they can be installed - there is no extra utility involved - if you use a powered USB hub you can connect more than one device at a time - http://www.apple.com/airportextreme/features/printing.html - and I recommend that if you decide to try the Extreme that you know what the return policy is in case it doesn't work out in your situation.

  • What kind of range extender can I use with airport express

    WHat kind of range extender can I use with an airport express?

    WHat kind of range extender can I use with an airport express?
    Use any router that you want if you will be connecting the extender/router back to the AirPort Express using a permanent, wired Ethernet cable connection.
    If you are planning to use a wireless connection to extend the range of the network.....then another AirPort Express, AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule will be required.

  • Can i extend the range of an airport extreme with another airport extreme and use the ports on the airport extreme i used to extend the network?

    That seems like a complicated question. 
    I have a Time Capsule (which the HD *****, but that is matter for another discussion) and want to extend the range with an Airport Extreme because I have 2 devices in one room that do not do wireless but have Ethernet ports.
    The room has iffy WiFy connectivity too.
    I want to know if the 3 ports on the Airport Extreme still work after configuring it as an extender rather than a router.

    The thing is that I want to know if I can put the Airport Extreme at the edge of the room where the existing Base does not reach.
    This will not work.
    Remember, an "extending" AirPort can only extend the quality of wireless signal that it receives. For that reason, it must be located where it can receive a strong wireless signal in order to work effectively.
    For example, let's say that your "main" router was on one end of the house and you want to extend the signal to reach the other end of the house.  In this case, you would locate the "extending" AirPort about half way between the main router and the other side of the house.

  • Is there a hard drive size limit  that can be hooked to the airport extreme

    I am trying to connect a 2TB HDD to my Airport Extreme but it doesn't see it. It is a Mac formatted drive I have been using as my backup drive but want to put it on the Airport Extreme to share some other stuff that's on it. When I hook in a 500GB drive it works just fine.
    There are no windows machines (god forbid) that will share it, all Mac.
    Thanks!

    Is there a hard drive size limit for G5 imacs?
    No.

  • Can you hook two printers to the airport extreme

    Can I hook up multiple printers to any of the airport devices?  the middle one has more than one port - one for printer and one for hard drive.  Can I put a printer in each port?

    Hi - you can connect mutiple USB printers via a USB hub - you can also connect multiple printers to the ethernet ports on an Extreme or Time Capsule - you can do the same with an Express with an ethernet switch - you can also do it wirelessly

  • Is it possible to use NAS storage (which is wired via LAN to AirPort Extreme) as a Time Machine destination?

    Is it possible to use NAS storage (WD My Cloud EX2 or WD My Cloud EX4) which is wired via LAN to current AirPort Extreme, as a Time Machine backup destination?
    There are two reasons I came up with this question.
    - Connecting via Ethernet should be faster than USB 2.0 connection
    - 8TB NAS storages are slightly cheaper than 8TB USB HDD
    If it is impossible, I am planning to buy My Book Thunderbolt Duo 8TB and wire it for MacBook Pro directly for the purpose of Time Machine backup.
    I have a concern with my primal idea of backing up via WiFi, as I tend to handle big files when doing music production or movie editing. I wonder if this affect the performance of MacBook Pro, as it might take more time to complete each backup via WiFi.
    Many thanks for your advice in advance,
    Masa
    MacBook Pro Retina 15 inch (Mid 2012)
    Processor 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory 16GB 1600 MHz DDR3

    I would appreciate any advice which could include aother sollition of secure and practical backup.

  • Is it possible to turn off the wireless signal on the Airport Extreme?

    Is it possible to temporarily turn off the wireless signal being emitted from an Airport Extreme whilst still remaining connected to the internet via ethernet? If so, what do you need to do to turn off the wireless signal?
    Also, how strong is the wireless signal? If placed in a basement of a residential property, is it likely that the signal would reach two floors above?
    Thanks very much for your answers.

    Welcome to the discussions!
    Is it possible to temporarily turn off the wireless signal being emitted from an Airport Extreme whilst still remaining connected to the internet via ethernet? If so, what do you need to do to turn off the wireless signal?
    Open AirPort Utility - Click Manual Setup
    Click the Wireless tab located just under the row of icons
    Wireless Mode = None
    Update to save your new settings
    You can reverse the process to turn the wireless back on when you are ready.
    Also, how strong is the wireless signal? If placed in a basement of a residential property, is it likely that the signal would reach two floors above?
    It's just not possible to accurately predict wireless performance in advance for any installation. A guess would be that the signal will be very weak, and likely unusable, but you won't know for sure until you try it out in your house.

  • Is it possible to boot from the Airport Extreme "N" base station?

    Hi - I was wondering, is it possible to boot from a USB hard drive connected to the new Airport Extreme base station? If so, how?
    Thanks for any help.

    No it is not possible.

  • Hooked up the AirPort Extreme to a verizon actiontec gt704wg wireless router and am having many problems

    I am having countless problems. Would it be smart to buy a basic dsl modem?

    Setting the Airport into bridge mode won't affect the speed either way - that's a function of your internet connection and also your wireless signal. Bridge mode avoids the conflicts which arise when two routers are both trying to allocate IP numbers to the connected devices (this might cause speed loss, though more usually it simply prevents connection).
    If you are only connecting wirelessly to the Airport you should if possible turn off the wireless on the Verizon as it's simply cluttering the airwaves.

  • Airport Express - using range extender and Ethernet at the same time?

    So, I am thinking of buying an Airport Express. I am would be using it to extend the range (wirelessly) of my current Wi-Fi and also use the Ethernet ports on the back to connect my DVD player (so I can use the Internet-enabled apps on it). My question is whether the Airport Express can extend the range of my Wi-Fi as well as provide an internet connection to my DVD player simultaesnously.
    My current setup in my house is:
    - A wireless modem from my ISP (www.telenet.be)
    - A Cisco range extender - however, this one often drops the connection so the Airport Express would be a replacement for this.
    The current Cisco range extender is plugged in near my TV and it picks up the wireless connection from my ISP modem and extends it as well as being connected to the DVD player. However, I am tired of losing the connection so I thinking of buying an Airport Express.
    I have no other Apple network devices (Airport Extreme, Airport Time Capsule, etc.)
    Can you help me out?

    No, Apple products will only wirelessly extend the signal from other Apple products.
    Another way of saying the same thing is that you must have two Apple AirPort routers if you want to extend the signal wirelessly.

  • Is it possible to use the AirPort Extreme wirelessly (without Ethernet cable)

    Instead of plugging it directly into my Modem, can I set it up wirelessly?

    The AirPort Extreme always needs to connect to a modem using a wired Ethernet connection....as the Setup Guide illustrates.

  • Is it possible to scan with an Multifunction Printer Epson Stylus 8300 series trough the USB port of the Airport Extreme?

    I have an Epson Stylus 8300 series, and plugged in the USB output of my Airport Extreme, with that I can print without problems from any PC connected to my WiFi network, but can not in any way to scan photos and documents over the network , and every time I need to do this activity, I have to connect my printer directly to the computer. Could someone help me with this problem?

    Sorry, but Epson and other manufacturers have not provided full featured drivers that would allow advanced features like copy, scan and maintenance to work when their devices are connected to the USB port on the AirPorts.
    Only the print function will work when the All-in-One device is connected to the USB port on the AirPorts.
    If you can connect the All-in-One using wireless only or Ethernet, most manufacturers have provided full functionality with these types of network connections.
