Is it possible to set up a home network using airport extreme that will be a non-internet option?
Yes
Not connected to the internet wifi.
If the AirPort Exteme is not connected to the Internet, then Internet connections will not be available on wireless or wired connections.

    How to set up Guest Network, while Airport Extreme is connected to Satellite Receiver?

    Depending on how you have your AirPort Extreme configured to work with the satellite receiver, it may or may not be possible to enable the Guest Network function.
    We will need to check some settings on your Mac or PC, but in order to do that, we need to know what operating system you are using on your computer.

  • Extend wireless network with Airport Extreme n and Airport Express g

    I have a 4th generation Airport Exteme (n) and an older Airport Express (g) and would like to use the Airport Express to extend my network to the other end of my house, where the signal is very weak. When I tried to set it up tonight, my Airport Extreme disappeared all together and I had to do a hard reset to get it back. I am using a macbook pro 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo running OS X 10.7.2.  Are there any current insturctions to do this?

    Here's a Youtube video of how to do it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3EdbRfX1_w
    I had the same set up you do. I did not have success with the Express g. And in my case I had much better success when I sold the Express g on ebay, bought an Express N from the refurb store, so it only cost around $20 get something that is much more reliable.
    I quickly tried to find an Apple Support tech note for you but didn't, post back if you need more.

  • Extending network with Airport Extreme and Airport Express

    I am trying to extend my network from Aiport Extreme via Aiport Express. The problem is that I do not wan to use WDC (speed penalty). Is there a way to set it up otherwise?

    Yes, but you will need to connect the AirPort Express device to the AirPort Extreme router via Ethernet cable.

  • Expanding a network with Airport Extreme

    I’m trying to extend (or bridge?) my network using my Airport Extreme. My roommate has the modem hooked up to his router and I think it’s a Linksys router. I have an airport card installed in my G4 desktop and I get a decent signal. The reason I want to hook up the Airport extreme is so I can share hard drives and printer with my Macbook Pro I just purchased. I get a fine signal with the Macbook Pro from my roommate’s router as well. The problem is trying to set up the Airport Extreme so I can access the hard drives and printer. I haven’t seen much on using Airport Extreme to expand a network. I was also thinking about running an Ethernet to the desktop from the Airport since it would be faster than the old Airport card I have installed which I believe is only “B”. I would then like to use Back to Mac to access the desktop from anywhere but that is a later issue until I get the airport extreme setup. Any suggestions on how I can extend the network so I can do this. Thanks.
    James

    The only way to do this is by using WDS. Most Linksys devices are not compatible with Apple's WDS but some are. The Linksys WRT54G or WRT54GS (not latest versions v5) are known to be.
    You would need to configure the Linksys and the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) to link together using WDS.
    One side effect of WDS is that the wireless bandwidth will be cut in half.

  • Setting up a WDS with airport extreme and Belkin router

    Hi,
    I had my airport extreme base station set up with a linksys router (the common one everyone has) and it worked fine. I moved and now am trying to set it up with a Belkin F5D7234-4, and have not been able to get it to work. I have tried both the WLAN and the LAN MAC addresses. Is there something I am missing? Thanks

    Unfortunately, most non-AirPort routers are not compatible with Apple's implementation of Wireless Distribution System (WDS)...so it very unlikely that your Belkin router can be extended wirelessly with the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS).
    The few Belkin routers, that are known to work are models: F5D7230-4 and F5D7231

  • Extend existing network with Airport extreme and 3 airport express.

    I want to extend an existing network (thomson TG787v) with an airport extreme (MD031Z/A) with 3 or 4 airport express(MC14Z/A)
    The thomson is the router from the provider and must be used. The building is an old mansion with a lot of brick walls
    I tried to connect the extreme with an ethernet cable (in bridge mode) and then connect the airport express in a line to have wifi in all rooms of the mansion.
    But somehow the airport extremes cannot extend the network.
    Can anyone tell me how to setup the apple devices to make this work?
    Thanks
    Bernhard

    I tried to connect the extreme with an ethernet cable (in bridge mode)
    This is the correct.
    and then connect the airport express in a line to have wifi in all rooms of the mansion.
    Apple's "extend a wireless network" feature will only allow you to "extend" the signal one time. So, the first Express would connect to the AirPort Extreme wirelessly and extend the signal.
    But, you cannot "extend" the signal a second or third time. Each AirPort Express must be located so that it connects directly to the AirPort Extreme.  In other words, each AirPort Express must be located about the same distance from the AirPort Extreme.
    Another way of thinking about his is to visualize the hub and spokes of a wheel. The AirPort Extreme would be located at the "hub".  Each AirPort Express would be located at then end of a "spoke".  As such, each AirPort Express communicates directly to the AirPort Extreme.....not to another AirPort Express at the end of another hub.
    You may need to consider installing Ethernet cable to each location where you will need an AirPort Express and configure the network that way.  Performance wise, this is a much better way to "extend" the network.

  • Extend a E4200v2 wireless network with airport extreme

    I have a E4200v2 i also have a Airport Extreme I want to use this to extend my wireless range in my house? I've played around a little tring to configure the Airport extreme but can't seem to get it to connect to my E4200v2?
    Can you mod the Airprt Extreme with dd-wrt or something that might unlock some of the features?
    I can't stand the interface. The E4200v2 is brand new.

    Before I suggest you for any trouble shooting steps, I would like to as few questions. Is you Linksys/Cisco router can able to access the Internet. If YES then try the following steps
    1. After unpacking your Airport Extreme, connect the ethernet cable from your jack to the leftmost ethernet port on the back of the Airport. This is the WAN port marked with the small circular image. Next plug the AC adapter into the power port on the Airport and plug it into the wall.
    2. Once the Airport Extreme has been plugged into the network and powered on, the status light on the front will go through a series of colored flashes. When the status light glows solid green, your Airport has been initialized and is connected to the network. This may take a few minutes. If your status light fails to glow solid green, please consult your manual for status light explanations.
    3. Make sure the wireless card on your computer is enabled and turned on. Connect to your Airport Extreme, which will most likely appear as Apple Network followed by some letters.
    4. Next install the Airport software from the included CD. After installation, launch the Airport Utility application. This is located in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder on a computer using Mac OS X, and in Start > All Programs > AirPort on a computer using Windows. 
    Please keep in mind that the Airport Utility is released with a new version every few months, so the screen shots you see below may not look exactly like what you see on your computer.
    5. Select your base station, and then click Continue.
    6. Enter a Wireless Network Name and a Base Station Name and click Continue. Write these names down for future reference.
    7. Enter your Country and Radio Mode on the next screen. Using 802.11n (802.11b/g compatible) is the proper choice in most cases. Click Continue.
    8. Select WPA2 Personal security on the next screen, then enter a Wireless Network Password and Verify it. This password must be between 8 and 63 characters. You should write this password down and keep it near your Airport Extreme in case you forget it. Click Continue.
    9. Select "I connect to my local area network (LAN)" on the next screen and click Continue.
    10. Leave the default settings (Using DHCP) on the next screen and click Continue.
    11. If you are interested in connecting USB peripherals to your Airport, consult your manual for additional information. Otherwise leave the default settings and click Continue.
    12. Enter a Base Station Password and Verify it. Write this password down and keep it near your Airport Extreme. You will need it if you ever want to modify any settings for your base station. Click Continue.
    13. Click Update. Your Airport Extreme base station has been configured and will now restart. Quit the Airport Utility and connect to your new wireless network.
    Check whether it helps you or not..

  • How to set up Guest Network, while Airport Extreme is connected to another router.

    I have tried doing this by changing the Internet Settings in the Manual section of the AirPort Utility. When I set Connection Sharing to 'Share a public IP address', it tells me that the beginning and ending DHCP Addresses are conflicting with the Airport Extreme.
    What would be a better way?

    Thank you very much for your quick and clear response.
    What would be the consequences if I disable the NAT & DHCP on the upstream router?
    Btw, the reason that I use the AEBSn is that I have problems connecting ipad/ipod/iphone to the router provided by the telephone company (I'm living in Spain - and because of that we have a lot of visitors coming over). Besides that, I'm working with a MacBook Pro and to be able to be as mobile as possible, I have a hard disk for Time Machine connected to the AEBSn.
    At the moment, the AEBSn is connecting the following to the Internet:
    - Ipod touch
    - Ipad
    - Iphone
    - 2 x MacBook Pro
    - AirBook
    - Old G4
    - Blu Ray player
    - HP Printer

  • How to configure home network with Airport Extreme + D-Link DIR-665

    *hello everyone,*
    *I had these two working fine together until the D-Link took a dump the other day. No explanation. Just stopped working until I reconfigured everything.*
    *Which then led to my Airport Extreme being unable to connect to the network at all, much less the internet...*
    *My home network is set up like this:*
    *Optimum Cable*
    *Motorola Surfboard modem --> D-Link DIR-655 (via ethernet)*
    *- Provides wifi and ethernet connections on one side of my house*
    *DIR-655 --> Airport Extreme (via ethernet run to other side of house)*
    *- Provides wifi and ethernet connections on the other side of my house*
    *My MBP won't connect to anything other than my AE running N, so I have that set up primarily for my MBP over wifi, while feeding an ethernet connection to a Netgear router running B/G, for my iPhone and other devices.*
    **So here are the relative details:**
    *I decided to start fresh and do a factory default configuration with my Airport Extreme. My working system from earlier was essentially it's own wifi network, but the airport utility 'insists' that I need to run my AE in bridge mode. I've tried that, but I can't get online. I can see my shared connections, so something's getting through, but I cannot connect to them, in addition to being unable to get online.*
    *I'm not really sure how to best illustrate this problem, so I've ran through the process again and jotted down a few notes. Excuse the rambling nature of my narrative, this is a 'blow by blow' account of the Airport Utility setup process:*
    Airport version 7.4.2
    IP address 192.168.0.192
    router address: 192.168.0.2
    Configuring over Airport connection.
    - I want AE to join my current network
    -.. connect AE to my network using ethernet to extend or create second network
    - select device AE will connect to using ethernet - DIR-655 network (displayed w/ airport icon?)
    - create an additional network (through ethernet)
    AE updates..
    - problem 1 of 1 : unsecured wireless network
    wpa wpa2
    Bridge mode or share a single IP address using DHCP
    selected bridge mode
    results: AE has green light, airport utility is satisfied but no connection to network is possible. Shared connections are visible, but unable to access
    next try:
    manual setup
    Wireless mode: create wireless network
    radio mode: 802.11n only (5 GHz)
    channel: auto
    wireless security: WPA2 personal
    (bridge mode still active)
    (this is the exact setup that worked for years before..)
    updated…
    AE light is green, but no connection to internet or shared connections (though visible)
    back to airport utility
    manual setup:
    internet menu:
    connection sharing: share a public IP address
    update
    --> 2 problems
    DHCP Beginning address: 192.168.0.2
    DHCP Ending Address: 192.168.0.2
    chose 'assist me'
    (now one shared connection to Mac Mini becomes active? Had selected it earlier. Able to browse folders, but not share screen)
    AE refreshed now with amber light, with reported problems
    Problem 1 of 2: Internet Connection
    Your Apple Wireless device does not have a valid IP address. Make sure your Apple wireless device is connected to your broadband modem or local network… etc
    - changed IP address to match router IP address (?) Utility goes on to next problem
    Problem 2 of 2: Conflicting DHCP Range
    This Apple wireless device rejected a DHCP address in the same subnet as its internal DHCP server. You should probably switch your Apple wireless device to be in bridge mode. If you still want to be using DHCP and NAT to share a single IP address, you should change your DHCP range.
    - maintain selection: share a single IP address using DHCP and NAT (utility forces you to: ignore; skip; or select bridge mode - which doesn't work..)
    - chose 'skip' for problem 2
    - updated AE..
    New problem:
    Problem 1 of 1: Double NAT
    This Apple wireless device has a private IP address on its Ethernet WAN port. It is connected to a device or network that is using Network Address Translation (NAT) to provide private IP addresses. you should change you Apple wireless device from using DHCP and NAT to bridge mode.
    - selected Bridge Mode
    updated AE…
    "Setup Complete!"
    Unable to connect.
    ** At this point, I am still able to see my shared connections, and while iTunes is open, I can play my shared library that is on my Mac Pro, which connected to the DIR-665 via ethernet, through yet another D-Link router (DIR-615)! I am still connected to the Airport Extreme via wireless, so the system is working, to an extent.*
    *So I'm not sure what to do. How can I remedy my IP address issue? Bridge mode doesn't work (as far as I've experienced), so I'm struggling with my DHCP settings..*
    *Thanks to anyone who has any suggestions!*

    Hi Preston,
    I would recommend not starting the numbering scheme for the IP addresses using a '0'. Yes the range is 0-255, but some numbers are reserved, and not generally good practice.
    Also, assuming you have reset all factory defaults, start anew and have the modem --> router using NAT for dynamic IP addresses --> (other side of the house) Airport Extreme --> not a NAT configuration, but you need a simple switch. Do not use the NAT capabilities on this one. Maybe, just maybe the computer will work now. This will eliminate your double NAT and also help (hopefully) with the D-Link.
    Sorry I cannot help more, I do not own any of the products you talk about, however I have networking experience. Hope it helps.

  • Ad hoc network with airport extreme

    Hi,
    i have no problem setting up an ad hoc network for my canon dslr to wirelessly download images to my MBP after each shot is taken.
    however, i would like to extend the range of this ad hoc network as i want to be able to shoot in another room. can i use the airport extreme to accomplish this?
    if this is possible, may I know how to do it?
    i do not need internet, so this airport extreme just needs to help me extend the range of my current ad hoc network.
    Thank you very much in advance.

    hi,
    is my question too vague?
    do let me know what other info do i need to provide?
    Thanks again
    appreciate any help.

  • Roaming network with AirPort Extreme and Netgear R6300

    Hi there everyone
    I need to know if I can make a roaming network with my apple AirPort Extreme as the base station and then I want to use an Ethernet cable to connect to a Netgear R6300 which will be located at the other end of my house where th connection is poor via wireless.
    So is this possible with this set up and if so how do I go about configuring each router to make it work?
    Will I need to make both SSIDs the same so I wan wander through the house and stay connected to the same network?

    Do not even bother to link wirelessly.. Apple do not allow it.. nor probably does the netgear.. there is no proper standard to wireless link routers.. it is a case where everyone does what is right in their own eyes.
    Roaming is the best anyway..
    SSID = Wireless Name must be the same.. and use short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric names.. not apple type. You can set a different name for 5ghz.. imho that is the best idea.. but up to you .. roaming and band swapping at the same time leads to chaos.
    WPA2 Personal = WPA2 AES security and is the only standard that should be used now..
    Password for wireless the same. 10-20 character mix upper and lower case + numbers.. keep it pure alphanumeric.
    And now the tricky one.. channels.. there is only one difference between the different wireless stations and that is channels. You can leave everything at auto.. but if it leads to trouble fix them on both 2.4ghz and 5ghz.
    Use non-overlapping .. see
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WLAN_channels
    Which show the 2.4ghz channels very clearly.. you will need to work your way around the 5ghz a bit because it differs so much region to region.

  • Extending a hidden wireless network with airport extreme

    For some reason, I'm unable to get my second AEBS to extend the network of my primary AEBS.
    Network Topology:
    Internet =>
    AEBS #1:  Gen5 (tower) AEBS running v7.7.3 as my primary AP  =>
    => Linksys 8-port Hub  =>
    LAN Devices
    => AEBS #2:  Gen4 (flat) AEBS running v7.6.4 intended to extend the above network
    Current Settings:
    The AEBS #1 is configured as follows:
    Create a wireless network
    Do not broadcast the network name for either 2.4 GHz or 5GHz
    Timed Access set with all MAC addresses established in the table including both AEBS's and both their frequencies
    WPA2 Personal set
    Router Mode: DHCP & NAT
    The AEBS #2 is configured as follows:
    Extend a wireless network
    Do not broadcast the network name for either 2.4 GHz or 5GHz
    Timed Access set with all MAC addresses established in the table including both AEBS's and both their frequencies
    WPA2 Personal set
    Router Mode: Off (Bridge Mode)
    At this point, AEBS #2 cannot find the network I entered and suggests I select a network from the drop down.  Of course, when I click the drop down, there is no network listed because AEBS #1 isn't broadcasting its network name.
    So my question is this... will AEBS #2 actually extend the network of AEBS #1 under these circumstances or am I relegated to setting up AEBS #2 as creating another network with the same name, hidden but in bridge mode as above?  The reason I would like to extend the network and not have two networks under the same name is because I believe its affecting device connectivity and performance.
    Thanks...

    Try unhide the name of the network on AEBS 1
    Then, configure AEBS 2 to extend the network
    Then, go back and hide the network on AEBS 1, then AEBS 2
    The reason I would like to extend the network and not have two networks under the same name is because I believe its affecting device connectivity and performance.
    We assume that you are configuring the AEBS 2 to extend using wireless.  AEBS 2 must use the same wireless network name as AEBS 1 when it extends using a wireless connection. Not possible to use another wireless network name on AEBS 2 when it extends using wireless.
    If AEBS 2 connects using Ethernet, then you can set it up with a different wireless network name. In that case it will not be setup to "extend a wireless network".....the correct setting would be "create a wireless network".
    You must already know that there are a number of free utilities available on the Internet that will reveal a "hidden" network in seconds, and that anyone who wants to "see" your network can do so very easily. But, it's your call.

  • Time Capsule connectivity drops on extended network with Airport Extreme

    I have a new Airport Extreme router as the main router in my network and a Time Capsule set to extend the 2.4Ghz network. The routers must be configured in this order because I want the 5Ghz network from the Extreme to cover my main seating area.
    The problem I have is that while I'm connected to the Extreme, on either the 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz network, the connection to the Time Capsule will 'drop'. The network drive within the Time Capsule will no longer be available and the AirPort Utility no longer shows the Time Capsule. If I reboot the Extreme, the Time Capsule will reappear.
    Also, when the connection drops, if I were to move within the primary range of the Time Capsult and connect to the 2.4Ghz network, it will connect flawlessly and I would have access to the Time Capsule and it's resources. It is only access through to the Time Capsule through the Extreme that is no longer available.
    Any ideas what could be causing this? Both routers work flawlessly otherwise. I'm fairly certain there isn't a hardware problem here. I've gone through all the configuration settings multiple times and can't find anything that could affect this. I have the latest firmware for both routers and the latest AirPort utility.
    One thing to note is that the Time Capsule is a North American unit, while the Extreme is from Hong Kong. I know there are slight differences regarding the wireless channels that both can use, but I don't think this is an issue since the Time Capsule maintains proper internet connectivity the whole time. If it was a channel issue, I'd expect the Time Capsule to lose internet access when this issue arrises.
    Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

    7.4.2 firmware does NOT resolve this problem.
    I also have this problem -- it started about 2 weeks ago (around July 20?), possibly at the time the new Airport Extreme firmware went into effect. I have two separate Mac laptops that each use Time Machine to back up to different disks that are attached to the Airport Extreme (i.e., each laptop has its own backup-destination disk). Both were working flawlessly before (for more than 6 months); now, each one reliably drops the connection to the disk (produces an error message, and thereafter cannot re-connect to the destination disk until I cycle the Airport Extreme with power-off/on). I had hoped that 10.5.8 would help (the release notes talked about improved stability with Airport connections), but not so.
