Model number of latest Airport Extreme (802.11n), announced 20-Oct-09

Hi, I'm thinking of upgrading my older Airport (b/g) to the latest model to get the N speed. What model number should I be looking for on the package to be sure I'm getting the model that was announced yesterday? I note that the predecessor was apparently the MB763LL model.
Thanks in advance,
Alan

Does anyone know the MODEL # of the new Airport Extreme? This is the # that begins with A followed by 4 digits.
The MC430... is the part number.

  • AirPort Extreme 802.11n and PowerBooks?

    I am about 1.5 seconds away from buying one of the new AirPort Extreme 802.11n base stations to work with my AirPort Express but I have some questions / concerns.
    1) Is my Powerbook capable of being enabled to access an "n based network" or is my money wasted on a router capable of speeds my computer can not access?
    2) Should my computer be capable of accessing this network, is the Airport Express Base Station I have capable of acting on this network in "N speed" too? I know the base station can be configured to act essentially as a relay to boost signal strength...if set up to do so will it dumb the speed down to "G speed"?
    3) If 1 and 2 are true and the express base station dumbs the speed of the N router down, can I configure the airport express base station to ONLY act as a wireless conection to my stereo and not as a wireless router, so as to allow my Powerbook to access the "N" speed network but still broadcast my music wirelessly to the stereo?
    Many thanks...I wish they just made this information clearer on pages like this:
    http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/EducationIndividualCanadaCustom .woa/9804006/wa/PSLID?mco=F7D93AEF&nplm=D4141ZM/A&wosid=gE4h0LIBbghZ2sXpLP21Wij0 uPJ

    Hey for any one still lookin....
    1. It all depends on what your CARD is capable of. Your POWERBOOK is more then capable of "N" speeds. Your only limited on the bandwidth of the Cardbus slot. You would have to have a third party card to access the new "N" speeds tho. I'm not sure if the last batch of (pre MacBooks) Powerbooks even made it to the "G" standard. I know Apple just came out with a driver for the latest Macs that have an upgradeable Card and or Basestation to get to "N". I really don't think your Express is upgradeable.
    2. You need to look at what models you have to figure out what their capable of. You should be able to go to Apple's web site to find out. Usually the Router will Dumb it down to the SLOWEST speed. Unless you were streaming your music, and playing a game online, and transferring a large file you shouldn't have a problem anyway. As long as you are not using the slowest product it won't dumb down.
    3. Haven't got that far yet. I've used up all my brain cells getting this far, so good luck on your mission. Try starting another string with specifics on what you want to do.

  • How do I know if my airport Extreme 802.11n needs updated firmware based on heart bleed issue using Mavericks?

    I have Mavericks on oour laptops. I have an Airport Extreme 802.11n WI-FI not sure when I bought it. THe article by Tim Cook and Heartbleed issue is very technical and only mentions Leopard operating system. So do not know if I need to upgrade firmware or not. Not sure I undertand "Back to my Mac" or what to do? Also have an airport express.

    it doesn't
    only the newer AC/tower designed models required the updated firmware

  • Airport Extreme 802.11n sharing a disk with a -1 on the mount point

    First I have to reboot the device once a day because of the disk that disconnect for no reason like many other on the list ever since I upgraded to 7.2.1 but not sure that as to do with this problem.
    Here's is the deal, I have an Airport Extreme 802.11n with a 500GB shared on the USB port. I want to use my iPhoto Library on the 500GB. It's about 11GB, I have tranfered the library over and iPhoto is asking to choose the library I want to use. When I try to point it to the 500GB everything is greyed out. When I use a terminal and do a df command to show the mount point on my computer, I get
    /Volumes/500GB-1
    Why and where the -1 is coming from?
    How can I get /Volumes/500GB only?
    One thing I have noticed about the -1 is when I loose the disk connection it prompt me to disconnect 500GB-1 but sometime even with a -2 and -3.
    Thx!

    can I hook up my printer, scanner and external harddrive through a usb hub?
    Partially, a large number of USB printers will work with the AirPort Base Stations' USB port, but not all. I suggest that you checkout the following iFelix site to see if your printer is compatible. Similiarly, most external USB hard drives should work as well.
    However, devices that rely on two-way communications, like copiers and scanners, won't work when connected to the USB port.

  • Airport Extreme 802.11n Wi-Fi not working

    I just purchased Apples Airport Extreme 802.11n with the idea of getting just a bit more range than my old airport. This is/was hard to tell since I could not get the unit to function properly.
    My internet service requires two address but this A/P Extreme only allowed one. This A/P Extreme 802.11n totally shut down my internet service. It did not allow wireless connection with other computers. The range seemed to be less than my older Airport Extreme 802.11 a/b/g.
    I had to re-install my Airport Extreme a/b/g to get things working again.
    I went to Apples Products and Service page to find out about the Express registration. Apples registration system did not recognize my serial number. Apparently their specification page recognized some parts of the serial number since the web page did display specification for the Airport Extreme.
    DOES ANYONE KNOW THE REASON FOR ALL OF THIS TO HAPPEN?

    You said you went to the "Express" page and tried to register above. It may be because you tried to register an Extreme as an Express. I had some difficulty over two months ago registering my Extreme. It let me register it without all the data because it would not recognize the serial number. Called Apple Care and they made sure it was registered.
    Also, unless you have an all 802.11n system, you may get a little more range out of the Extreme, but I don't think any more than if you would have used an Airport Express 802.11g. Range and speed are geared toward all n systems.

  • Can I add an extra Ethernet port to my AirPort Extreme (802.11n)???

    hi all.
    I have an Apple AirPort Extreme (802.11n). On the back I have 3 Ethernet ports. All the 3 ports are used (one for an Ethernet Printer, One is connected to my computer and one is connected to my wife's computer. I need an additional Ethernet port for a music server. I have no idea of how to extend the Ethernet ports number.
    Thanks for any Help
    David - Canada

    Hello David Gershon1. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    You could simply add a multi-port Ethernet switch to any of the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station's (AEBSn) LAN ports to increase the number of available ports. An example would be the Linksys EZXS55W.

  • AirPort Extreme 802.11n (2nd Gen) no Guest Network capability?

    I have an "AirPort Extreme 802.11n (2nd Gen)" according to a serial number lookup here.
    I am not sure if this is the same as MB053LL/A which is mentioned is this archived thread. (Couldn't find a way to lookup the part number + couldn't find the tech specs at apple.com.)
    I was wondering if this base station has the capability to setup a guest network in addition to the primary network.
    According to the above mentioned Apple Discussions thread, the base station needs to have simultaneous dual band operation capability to make this possible. (Since I couldn't find the tech specs, I'm not sure what this base station has.)
    I would assume from this Knowledge Base Article that the 2nd generation AirPort Extreme is one generation too old:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3477
    Am I correct?
    (It's set to "Share a public IP address" under Connection Sharing.)

    Hi, flips01. You are correct. Simultaneous dual-band was introduced with the 3rd generation.

  • Is my AirPort Extreme (802.11n) Base Station defective?

    I'm trying to set up a wireless network with my new AirPort Extreme (802.11n) Base Station. I dismanteld my existing network that consisted of an old model AirPort Extreme and an AirPort Express. I can't seem to get anything to work properly with the new hardware. I have a G4 Quicksilver that uses an AirPort card. Is that the issue? I thought they were compatible. I was not able to update the Setup Utility because I don't have an Intel Mac. Still, that shouldn't prevent me from doing an initial setup. I'm thinking perhaps the unit is defective. I've been working on this several hours a day for almost a week. This is the most trouble (by far) that I've ever had with any Apple product. I'm really disappointed. I suspect the hardware is defective, but based on all of the issues I've read about in this forum, I think it could just be reflective of the poor overall quality of the new AirPort Extreme. What a let down.

    What is the exact name of the application you are using to configure the airport?
    You should be using "AirPort Utility"
    It is a Universal application, so it should work on both a PPC and Intel mac.
    As for the update, if you can't download it via software update, you most likely do not need it.
    The quicksilver only has an Airport card:
    http://support.apple.com/specs/powermac/PowerMac_G4_Quicksilver2002.html
    That means that you will need to configure the airport extreme N to operate in the 2.4 GHz range. You will need to tell it that it needs to be compatible with 802.11b
    There is probably an option for 802.11 b/g/n compatibility.
    Are you going to still use your airport express? you could either use WDS to extend your wireless network without connecting the two airport base stations with an ethernet cable... or you could connect them together with an ethernet cable and configure the same network name and use two different channels (only use 1, 6, or 11). If you extend a network, they both need to use the same channel.
    If the quicksilver is the only machine on your network, it will not be any faster.
    Actually, you could make things faster, now that I think about it... I am guessing that your quicksilver is not located near your airport extreme. If I am wrong, just ignore this...
    You could use one of your airports as your main base station, connected to your cable modem/dsl whatever... then you connect the other airports ethernet to your quicksilver. you then turn off the airport card in your quicksilver and set up the airport connected to your computer to use WDS and connect to the other airport using 802.11g.
    You now have gone from an 11 mbps max (5 mbps real world) connection to a real world 30-40 mbps link.
    Other options would be to look for 802.11g or 802.11n usb adapters for the quicksilver... I am not sure what is mac compatible out there, since it is probably a small market since it is built in to all new macs.
    Good luck

  • AirPort Extreme 802.11n* Enabler for Mac 4 use with Touch?

    Hello,
    I have a 2nd Gen Touch with the latest updated software. I use Airport to connect to the internet on my new iMac 24". Will the AirPort Extreme 802.11n* Enabler software now offered in the Apple store($1.99) for Mac improve communications between the Touch and my iMac?
    Thanks

    Nope. Your touch is still limited to b/g mode wireless. In fact, if you have an all n network, your touch won't even know that it exists.
    Most of your Mac to iPod communication is via the USB cable unless you are using Remote or other applications that can move files on and off.
    BTW, that software is to enable early intel Macs to use N wireless. If your Mac is relatively new, you won't need it.

  • Airport Extreme 802.11n Base Station blocking RealPlayer 11 completely

    I am trying to play this radio station (just a brasillian sports channel) on RealPlayer 11:
    rtsp://real.rbsonline.com.br/liverbs/*/broadcast/rdgaucha/gaucha.rm
    Which is completely blocked on my Airport Extreme 802.11n Base Station with the latest firmware update.
    It even blocks when RealPlayer is configured for HTTP only.
    I am using it on my iMac which is connected directly via a ethernet cable instead of wifi to the Airport Extreme 802.11n Base Station.
    RealPlayer can play it fine when I plug my iMac directly to the cable modem so it proves is the router. I never had RealPlayer issues before when I was using a linksys router.
    It does really feel like Apple put an intentional block on RealPlayer to stop competition.
    Anyone seen this issue? Guess it is related with the BBC RealPlayer issue.

    Fixed myself, problem was because I setup OpenDNS on base station, removed it now works

  • New Base Airport Extreme 802.11n .....bugs

    Well,
    I have just read tens of posts in many forums, included this one.
    It seems that the Base Airport Extreme 802.11n has severe problems of connections to internet.
    That's is also my case.
    This is my config.
    1. Modem NetGear DM111P <--> WAN Base Airport Extreme 802.11n
    2. LAN Base Airport Extreme 802.1n <--> Ethernet iMac 24"
    3. LAN iMac as DHCP auto IP
    4. Base Airport set for PPPoE
    There is no way to get into Internet.
    If I connect the Modem DM111P directly to the iMac 24" LAN the Internet is on, fast, fluid.
    With the Airport in betwwen....no way...
    Any help ?
    I am seriously thinking Apple has distributed a product full of bugs.
    Read other forums with same problem.

    iMac 24"   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   Base Airprt Extreme + 2 x Airport Express

    James,
    Confirmed: the NetGear <--> AEBS <--> iMac does not work.
    I have set the Bridge Mode as you suggest, but nothing, no internet !
    Othe 3 hours of tests in setting tens of conigurations. No one works.
    All the leds of the NetGear Modem as the one in the AEBS are solid green.
    I will return back the NetGear modem to the retailer.
    I am now running with my old Pirelli Modem from Alice Service (Telecom Italia Net) that - even if slower - at least it works.
    I am concluding that the Airport Extreme has seriuos problems of compatibility with the open market modems.
    Apple should check the SW+HW before selling such difficult items as the the Airport Extreme base.
    Just a question: which model/type of modem(s) is(are) effectively compatible with the AEBS ?
    If the retailer will permit me this, I will replace the NetGear (a very good modem...what a pity) with a compatible one with this strange base.
    Thaks for your help.

  • AirPort Extreme 802.11n no route to host

    Hi, I have a AirPort Extreme 802.11n router with the latest firmware installed. My setup is such that my laptop is connected to the router via ethernet and my iPhone is connected via wifi, both using the same subnet, router address and dns address. The problem I'm having is that while my laptop is connected via ethernet it can ping and access file sharing services on my iPhone, but when my laptop is connected via wifi the iPhone is not reachable and pings return a "no route to host". I've looked at the traffic via wireshark and the only thing I see when trying to do direct wifi to wifi communications is that the arp request for the identity of the iPhone's IP is never answered. Is this a limitation of the airport extreme base station or is there a setting somewhere I need to change in order for wifi to wifi communication to work? Also note that the same problem was experienced with another laptop also running Leopard and connected to the network via wifi (both running 10.5.5) so this is not a local problem with my laptop software environment. Thanks!

    I'm experiencing a similar problem.  The AirPort Extreme will connect to a Windows PC but not my Mac Book Pro (unless I have a wired connection).

    I have a Airport Extreme 802.11n and my T.V. is a panisonic,I keep losing the connection. Anybody have any answers?

    Plenty of suggestions.. only you can find out which one is correct.
    What model AE? What firmware?
    Since Panasonic TV is not apple it will use SMB windows type networking.. everything but Apple does.
    Are the names in the AE all SMB compatible.. ie short.. max about 20 characters.. no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    Is the security set to WPA2 Personal with a pure alphanumeric password of 10-20 characters.. more is fine if you suffer paranoia but isn't needed.
    Fix the wireless channels.. so it doesn't flip flop like a dying fish.
    There are only 3 channels for 2.4ghz that do not overlap, 11, 6, 1  although someone suggested 8 works well if you have heaps of interference. If you live in flat/apartment building you have heaps of interference.
    Lastly is it stable if the distance is 3M direct line of sight?
    If not then get a high power wireless AP and use that instead.

  • Airport Express and Airport Extreme 802.11n

    Hello,
    I have a Airport Extreme 802.11n Base Station set up and a old Airport Extreme (the one before the 802.11n model) set up which extends the Base Station's signal.
    Is the old Airport Express broadcasting the 802.11n put out by the Airport Extreme even though the Express is an older model?
    Thanks!

    No, the older AX (Airport Express) is not capable of communicating in 802.11n protocol. It would be 802.11g at best.

  • Speed or Performance Issue with Airport Extreme 802.11n

    Background:
    Router 1: Linksys Wireless G 2.4GHz Router WRT54G (have been using for 1.5 years)
    Router 2: Airport Extreme 802.11n Base Station Model: A1143 (just arrived)
    Macs: Intel MacBook Pro & MacBook both Newtwork Adapters upgraded to 802.11 a/b/g/n and verified via "Netwrok Utility". The Netwrok Utility also displays the link speed at 54 mb under interface info. when the Linksys G router is selected and the link speed at 144 mb when the airport extreme n is selected.
    Observation & Issue:
    Currently, for testing both network routers have been used seperatly (connected directly via the cable modem) and speeds for each latop verified via http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/ and normal "human" usage web surfing observations via Safari. Results below:
    1. When using the Linksys G router both the MacBook and MacBook Pro appear to be performing well and responsive with little or no wait on graphically/media intense sites such as apple.com
    The speakeast.net/speedtest/ (using the NYC hub close by) downoad test displays 8MB to 10MB speeds
    2. On the otherhand, when using the Airpot extreme both the MacBook and MacBook Pro appear to be performing slower than usual with higher waits for image and page downloads.
    In addition, the speakeast.net/speedtest/ (using the NYC hub close by) downoad test displays 2MB to 3MB speeds. Lower than what we experienced using the older router.
    Request for advide or help:
    1) Is this normal? Assuming it is not, what esle can I look at that can help me determine the root cause. The Airport Utility does not offer much assistance in this matter.
    2) Thus far I have opted to revert back to my Linksys g router. However, before returning the product... any other adivce on a potential miss in the configuration or setup would be of great help.
    3) Other's experiencing the same?
    MacBook Intel & MacBook Pro Intel   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   SUing Comcast Cable Modem

    Contacted Apple Support (have an AppleCare account) tonight and the issue has been resolved with the caveat that I cannot have a mixed (g & n) radio mode on the same airport extreme base without significant loss of performance. These are the steps I was walked through to resolve my particular case:
    1) Verify that your hardware is indeed upgraded to use n (see steps in my original post)
    2) Open the AirPort Utility (new program that was installed from the install disc under applications/utility)
    3) Click on the Airport Extreme image on the right hand column to open the Airport Extreme settings
    4) Select the "Wireless" tab, then "Radio Mode" drop down and select 802.11n only (5 GHz)
    5) Select Update to apply new settings.
    Results:
    When running the speakeasy.net/speedtest I am seeing results that are indeed better. However, the test shows that the top speed lowers a bit and jumps back up unlike when I am on my old g router, which does not have such a jump.
    This test is not perfect but a good gauge. If anyone has any other ideas to test performance more accurately, please do let me know.
    Note: Only n enabled devices now work with the n router. I will keep my old g router as a backup and for my work pc laptop.
    Hope the above helps and thanks.
