Looking to find out if a Airport Extreme works

I have a ordinal a Airport Extreme Base Station that I original bought when I bought my first MacBook back in 07 and I'm wondering how if I can test along side the new AEBS I have running now. I can plug into into the the internet from the modem and can supply power to it, but would like to know since it's been a few years since I used what the networks should be called if the reset I did on it should be called?

I would suggest that you perform a "factory default" reset on the AIrPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) to get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration. In this configuration, it would be providing an unsecured wireless network with name, like: Apple Network NNNNNN
It would also have a base station administrator password of: public

    You can do this via insert HTML , you would need to use the live feed code in Muse page.

  • I am looking to find out about specifications of the components of Hyper-V

    Hi,
    I am looking to find out about specifications of the components of Hyper-V, is someone able to reach out to me? Some features I am looking to find if Hyper-V covers (and the components that would be used) are:
    Automated   live migration
    Workload balancing
    Physical-to-virtual conversion
    Plug-in for SCOM
    Integrated StorageLink
    Distributed Virtual Switch
    Use of OpenStack?
    Thanks,
    Eric

    You can check with OpenStack to determine their support.
    SCOM support of Hyper-V - check wit the SCOM team.
    Automated Live Migration - this could be interpreted multiple ways.  However I suspect you are looking for the SCVMM PRO feature.
    Workload Balancing and StorageLink and Distributed Virtual Switch are feature / product names from companies other than MSFT - so you must elaborate on the use case.
    Not sure what your intent is, but it reads as if there is some feature comparison you are trying to do between apples and oranges.

    I keep getting a "not enough memory"  comment on my computer.  Where can I look to find out what is taking up the memory while i'm working?

    Are you referring to the message that says your startup disk is full?  If so, you need to delete some files from the hard drive, or get a larger hard drive.  Moving some files to an external hard drive is a quick and easy solution.  Note that you should avoid the temptation to use various utilities to clean up your system or remove parts (like unused languages).  That will not free up much space and can easily result in damaging your system.

  • Can the AirPort Extreme work as an extender?

    Simple question: Can the AirPort Extreme work as a wireless network extender? (I have tried to research this online, of course, but I haven't had much luck.)
    Background: The only option from our ISP is a router/modem combination. It used to be plugged directly into my dad's (Dell and Windows) desktop computer, but I was having trouble connecting all my devices wirelessly. So, I moved it into the kitchen and plugged it into the phone line (we have AT&T DSL) and got a USB wireless adapter for my dad's computer (because he didn't think he needed the wireless option on his "fancy" new Dell). I also have a different brand of adapter plugged into my old iMac G3, which I LOVE using.
    Since doing this, my dad has constantly complained of his Internet not working correctly, things loading slowly, and having trouble connecting at all. (Full disclosure: he STILL uses the complete desktop version of AOL and refuses to give it up.) However, I've had no trouble on ANY of my devices--the G3, my white MacBook, my iPad, my iPod, or my mom's Kindle Fire. This leads me to believe the problem lies in the fact that he's using AOL because I usually don't have trouble when I briefly use Chrome on his desktop.
    I've tried finding different solutions, including flashing an old router to use an extender and researching different extenders and bridges and such, but nothing looks like a viable solution because of all our components.
    I'm wondering if the AirPort Extreme (probably the A1143;or any of the other AirPort devices) can work as an extender. To appease my dad, it'd be best to take the modem/router back to his man cave so he can hook it back up to his computer, but I'm not sure if the AirPort can pick up the wireless signal and perhaps be plugged directly into my G3 and otherwise act as an extender for my other devices (while searching for an Internet solution for my G3, I read on here that someone did this, but there was no further information on how it worked) or if I can plug it into the kitchen phone line and keep the USB adapter for the G3 and have wireless access to all my other things.
    Help?
    (I can't find the original support article where a responder mentioned using the AirPort station with an iMac G3, but i did locate this one: https://discussions.apple.com/message/13080786#13080786)
    (My iMac is one of the later ones. It's running 10.4.1 and is a 600MHz model.)

    Simple question: Can the AirPort Extreme work as a wireless network extender?
    Simple answer: Yes....IF....the AirPort Extreme is extending a wireless network that is being provided by another Apple 802.11n wireless router.
    Another way of saying the same thing is that it will take a minimum of two Apple 802.11n wireless routers to extend a signal wirelessly.
    The more complex answer involves distances and obstructions involved in the setup, or alternate solutions such as running Ethernet cabling or using Ethernet powerline adapters.

  • How do I make an Airport Extreme work with a Linksys WRT160N

    I have a Linksys WRT160N V3 Router that I have connected to my cable modem. I have an iMac in another room along with a PC based laptop. Range is fine to get them to connect wirelessly. However what I would like to do is to also connect my Blu-Ray device to the internet. However it isn't wireless. I was told I could use an Airport Extreme to bridge to my WRT160N. What I want to do is hardwire connect my Blu-Ray player and perhaps my iMac to the Airport Extreme using my WRT160n's access to the cable modem. Basically I'm trying to make to wirelss routers talk to each other. I can't seem to make the Airport Extreme work. Any assistance would be great.
    Thanks,
    Tim

    Welcome to the discussions, Gonzotoo!
    +I was told I could use an Airport Extreme to bridge to my WRT160N+
    Unfortunately, this is not correct. The AirPort Extreme does not have the capability that you need. If you could connect the Linksys and Extreme together using an ethernet cable, it would function as you wish. Or, if it's not possible to connect them using an ethernet cable, you might take a look at a pair of ethernet powerline adapters to accomplish the same task by using the AC wiring in your home.

  • Airport Extreme worked well, now poorly

    After working well for 3 years, internet download via the Airport Extreme is very slow, and the physical area covered by Wi-Fi is greatly reduced.
    The problem was first noticed about 2 weeks ago.  Symptoms are my MacBook Pro has difficulty connecting and staying connected to the Airport Extreme. When it does connect, downloads are very, very slow.  My iPad Mini has the same problem.   Again this happened suddenly.  Prior to that the Airport Extreme worked very well since obtaining it 3 years ago.
    Any suggestions of what to do next would be much appreciated.

    I would suggest that you start by performing a complete power recycle of your networking hardware to see if this resolves the issue. Check out the following AirPort User tip for details. Please post back your results.

  • Does Airport Extreme work will with AT

    Does Airport Extreme work will with AT&T Microcell for the iPhone 4?

    The AT&T Microcell will plug into one of the Ethernet ports on your AirPort Extreme.
    The AirPort Extreme will work just fine. Whether the Microcell works well is totally up to AT&T.

  • AirPort Extreme- Works in 1 room, not the other

    For the first month I lived in this house, the AirPort Extreme worked great in every room and in both the front and back yards. The unit is in my bedroom. When in my office, about 15 feet away, the unit works fine and my computer shows full signal strength. When in the living room, 5 feet away from the office, I have no signal at all. So, I ask, ***? Is there any type of diagnostic I can run, or any sort of reset I can perform? Unplugging and plugging back in does not do the trick. Is there a software update I am lacking, or some preventative maintenance I need to perform? This is pretty frustrating.

    WTFmac, Welcome to the discussion area!
    It may be RF interference caused by another RF signal or the material used in your house is blocking the signal.
    Is your AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) using 5 GHz or 2.4 GHz? If 2.4 GHz have you tried changing the channel used by the AEBS?

  • Will airport extreme work with Mac OS v10.6?

    I have an Imac from 2009, Using OS X v 10.6.8 and cannot get an airport extreme to match.  I kept getting a msg to upgrade airport utility hardware 6.2.2, but then an unable to do so.    Are the 2 incompartible?   I thought the advantage of apple products was connectivity.   Any thoughts are appreciated!!  Paul

    The most recent AirPort Extreme works without any problem with Mac OS X Snow Leopard, but the problem is that it requires AirPort Utility 6.3 to set it up, and this version is only available for OS X Lion and Mountain Lion.
    If you don't want to upgrade Mac OS X and you have an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, you can use them to set up your AirPort Extreme. Open Settings > Wi-Fi, choose your AirPort station and follow the steps.
    If you don't have any of those devices, upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion. Open the Mac App Store and purchase it. Make a backup of your data with Time Machine and check that your applications are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com When the download finishes, upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion. After upgrading, open  > Software Update, and install AirPort Utility 6.3, which you have to open and follow its steps.
    The other option is to return your AirPort Extreme and get an older one

  • Airport Extreme works fine but I can't see it in Airport Utility

    Have seen numerous posts on this issue but no solutions!
    I have a MB Pro running 10.4.11, Airport Extreme and Airport Utility 5.2.1. The Airport Extreme works perfectly, with no connection issues, but I cannot see it anymore in Airport Utility. I have another Airport Express hooked up to my stereo (for airtunes only), and can see this in Airport Utility, but not the Extreme. The Extreme used to appear here, but no more. Otherwise works fine. Just need to be able to reconfigure it.
    Anyone know what the fix is????

    I have this same issue. Internet works, I can connect to it, but i doesn't show in the Airport Utility. Also, it doesn't let me connect to other computers or my AirDIsk. I am using 10.5. Unplug and plugin style reset fixes it...for a while. Any ideas anyone?

    just hooked up airport extreme. works on mac but won't allow phone or iPad on. how do i get them to connect?

    How old are the various devices? It could be possible for you to have configured a very new AirPort Extreme in a way that older iPhones and iPads could not access. For example, could you have set up the Extreme to use only 801.11n and 5GHz?
