New Air Port Extreme and old Air Port Express?

Just got my Air Port Extreme up an running. Is there any reason why my 4 year old Air Port Express would not work with the new Extreme?
The extreme saw briefly yesterday but today the computer doesn't see the express and the extreme only flashes with the orange light showing it has no signal.
Only thing that did change was I did the firmware update on the extreme.

Welcome to the discussions!
Connect an ethernet cable from your computer directly to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Extreme. Open AirPort Utility - Manual Setup so the summary page is displayed.
Click on the amber dot and a message will appear with the reason for the flashing amber light on the Extreme. What is the message?
Regarding the Express, how do you plan to use it in your network?

Share snapshots here, Air Port Extreme and 2 Air Port Express are working

is there a way to attach snapshots here
after 1 week I fig out how to get it to work in windows XP using my FIOS router and my Air Port Extreme, but before anything make sure you have the MAC address of all the Apple devices
As I config my devices(Air Port Extreme and 2 Air Port Express) I took snapshots since I did not want to go through this again

Unfortunately, if the light is out, the outboard power supply has failed, or the internal power supply has failed.
If you have a voltage tester, check the outboard power supply for 12 volts. If it delivers 12 volts, then the internal power supply on the AirPort Extreme has failed, and you will need to replace the AirPort Extreme.
If the outboard power supply does not work, you might be able to replace that outboard power supply to get things working again.
Take the AirPort Extreme to an Apple Store....if you have one near you.....to let them take a look.

How do I connect a new Thunderbolt MBP to and old 23" HD Cinema Display ADC port

A question Im sure many have asked but I cant find a straight forward answer.
I simply will be buying a new thunderbolt MBP 15 and NEED to connect it an old 23" Apple Cinema Display that uses the old ADC connector.
Can I do it and if so how? I realise theres a potential under powering issue?
Thanks

Hello Sigh
I am sure there is no way to get your ADC connector display to function with your new Mac Book Pro.
I tried everying I could and gave up and purchased a 24" Apple refurbbished Cinema Display for $599 + tax on 4/27/2011. The Apple part number is FBXXXXL/A, Model A1287.
Gave my year 2002 ADC 22" display to a friend.

Got my new MBP 2011 today. Hooked it up to my 23" Apple Cinema Display fine, using the Apple DVI to ADC converter > Mini Display port adaptors. I could then mirror display, but only at 1440 x 900 resolution.
My dream is to have it like my old laptop--I mostly leave it shut, and main display is on the Cinema Display. So far, if I close the laptop lid on my new MBP, display shuts off. Also, can't get it to bump up the resolution to 1920.
Sigh.

My airport time capsule will no longer allow our iPhones or vizio smart tvs to connect to it, though my iPad air mac mini and mac air connect fine. Why is this? does a recent software update have anything to do with it?

What model is your TC? What is the firmware?
I recommend you do a factory reset and use short names.. not apple recommended names.
Short.. 2-20 characters .. less than 10 even better.
No spaces.
Pure alphanumeric.
Set fixed channels for 2.4ghz wireless.. test with 11, 6, 1 at least.
That often helps.. if not and is old, ie Gen1-4 go back to 7.6.1 firmware which is far more solid.

Is there a way to output a buffered pattern on port 0 and input on ports 1,2, and 3 of the 6534 card while using an external clock to vary scan rate using LabVIEW?

I am using a 6713 board to clock my 6534 board and want to output from the buffer a patten continuously on port 0 and read from ports 1,2,and 3 at the same time and clock speed.

Hello;
Unfortunately, you can't combine a 24 bit group by bundling 3 ports in the same group. Valid group sizez are 8 bits, 16 bits and 32 bits only. To accomplish that task, you will need an extra 6534 board, then configure that board to do a 32bit pattern input acquisition, and discard the data from one of the four ports.
You can definitely synchronize both 6534s with the 6713 throug the RTSI bus. To synchronize all boards together, just route the AO Update clock from the 6713 board to one of the RTSI lines, and use two more instances of the Route.vi to route from that same RTSI line to the PCLK lines of the two 6534s.
Hope this helps.

Air Port Extreme and Time Capsule Over the internet

Ok so here is my problem.
I have an Airport Extreme with my time capsule bridged to it for local storage, and more ethernet ports.
But I cannot seem to get file sharing to work over the internet with the time capsule.
I do not have the share over wan checkbox and I do not wan to use mobile me.
I also have a DYNDNS hostname to redirect to my ip.
This works if I turn on file sharing on my computer but I want to use the time capsule as my server not folders on my computer, im on my computer haha.
Any help would be greatly apreciated.

Welcome to Apple Discussions, RipapArt!
Any ideas why this has suddenly happened...
Possibly a corrupted file. If you have not already done so, you might considered booting you computer from the Tiger Install disk, holding down the "c" key. Select your language and then from the Utilities menu, select Disk Utility.
In the left pane of Disk Utility, click on your hard disk. In the right pane, click the First Aid tab and then near the bottom click Repair Disk. If any errors are found, it will try to repair them. Re-run repair disk until it reports zero errors. Then click Repair Permissions. Afterwards, reboot the computer normally. Launch Disk Utility from the Utilities folder and Repair Permissions.
Launch a browser to see if you can get online. If the problem persists, launch System Preferences and then Network. Click Assist me and use the Assistant to create a new location and follow the prompts.

Lost connection between airport extreme and macbook air when transferring large files

Can anyone help...?
I have an imac and macbook air wirelessly connected to a airpot extreme being used as a router with a hard drive for sharing files accross the network.
It connects ok but when we try and look at a number of large files one after the other, or copy files from the shared hard drive onto the macbook air, the macbook loses wireless connection?
A very strange issue which i cant figure out....
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Shirmy

It could be a wireless interference or strength of wireless signal issue.
What happens when you connect the MacBook Air to the router via an Ethernet connection?

WAN port inop and PM ethernet port inop - options to connect to AEBS?

Hi. We had a thunderestorm last week at home and we shut everything down and unplugged the power cords, but I think the cable to the cable modem fried some of my ports. I have a cable modem hooked to the WAN AEBS port and a cable from the LAN AEBS port to the ethernet port of my PM G4 867 (Quicksilver). After lots of troubleshooting with a different cable modem and my PB 15, it seems that the AEBS WAN port is dead and the ethernet port of the cable modem AND PM G4 are toast!!:( I guess all three got fried thru the cable.
I have a different cable modem that runs my digital phone so I connect thru it's ethernet port (after provisioning it). It works with my PBs directly and my airport express. I went to the Apple store and they confirmed the WAN was inop. Got a new AEBS. Now, here's my question:
I connect my PBs thru airport, but used the LAN to directly connect to the PM G4. The ethernet port is dead too. What should I do to get the PM connected?
I think the PM G4 quicksilver can accept an airport card (older kind). I can get one for around $100.
Is it easy to replace the ethernet card/port on this model? How much?
What's the best solution? What would you do? Thanks for your help.

I think the PM G4 quicksilver can accept an airport card (older kind). I can get one for around $100.
Yes the QuickSilver has an internal slot for the original 802.11b AirPort card. That slot is NOT compatible with the AirPort Extreme card.
Is it easy to replace the ethernet card/port on this model? How much?
There is no separate Ethernet card. The Ethernet port is built into the motherboard.
If you want Ethernet, the least expensive solution is a compatible PCI Ethernet card.

Brand new user of Extreme and express - surprising speed test results

Dear All,
I had been using a linksys wireless router connected to a 20mps cable connection to send a wifi signal around my home. After a fair bit of research I upgraded to an airport extreme (wanted benefit of the gb ethernet ports and simultaneous dual band which the linksys did not have.)
So airport extreme set up nicely and speed test.net says I have download speeds of 19.23mbps on both my ipad and my macbook pro (2010). Signal does drop off in one part of the house so after a chat with the apple sales guy I also picked up an airport express to use as an extender. Using the excellent advice on this board mostly from Bob Timmons (found on a search) I was able to set express up and place in the part of the house where the signal didn't previosuly reach. It worked. So far so good. But, then an issue.
When the express is plugged in mbps on speed test drops from 19mbps to 4mbps on both the macbook pro and the ipad. Switch of the express reconnect the devices to wifi (I guess now they are focussing on the airport extreme) and speeds return back to the 19mbps!. Why would this be? And is there any way to fix it? The extra range is useful but not at the expense of all that speed.
thanks
Josh

Setup looks correct.
Have you tried some different channel settings to see if another channel might work better?
For 5 GHz, you would want to choose one of the higher numbered channels 149, 153, 159, 161 and make sure that "enable wide channels" is checked in Wireless Options.
For 2.4 GHz the lower numbered channels are usually more crowded, so you might try one of the higher numbered channels for that band, maybe 9, 10, 11.
Apple routers seem to be very sensitive to interference. If you have a cordless phone there, try powering it off for 45-60 minutes and restarting the Extreme and Express to see if that makes any difference.
If you have time, you can scan to see what other networks are working around you with a utility like iStumbler.
If you do this, you may be surprised that "full bars" is not as much signal strength as you might have thought. The "bars" are there pretty much for show. They really don't tell you much about the real signal strength on the network and they don't tell you anything about noise on the network, which can drag down speeds.

How can I write to port C and read from port A&B simultaneously using 6503 DIO-24

I attempting to read from Port A and B which are grouped together and at the same time I want to write to Port C. The problem I having now is that every time I want to read from Port A and B, Port C seems to be effected. I have only used the easy dio's vi this may be the root of my prblem

Hello,
You will need to use the advanced digital VIs to accomplish what you are trying to do.
The Easy DIO VI's are simply a combination of two DIO advanced VI, so you will use the same two advanced VI with a little different calling method. We want to call both PORT Config VI first to configure two ports for read and one port for write. Then we can simply read and write to the ports as desired, perhaps in a loop.
The best place to start would be to look at the LabVIEW examples for Digital Input and Output operations. In LabVIEW, go to Search Examples then under I/O interfaces select DAQ (or Data Acquisition)-> Digital Input and Output->Immediate Digital Input and Output. From her you will want to look at the examples under the 8255 chip which is the chip on
the DIO-24. I would recommend looking at Read from two digtial ports and the Write to one digital port VI's.
From here you will simply need to combine the two together. One note: you will want to make sure that both port config VI are called before either Port Read or Port Write VIs.

Difference between Clean Air 3.0 and Clean Air Expres

Hi Community.
There are some papers which show the difference, but these aren't very clear.
As i know Clean Air 3.0 will automatically adjust power level, etc. and Clean Air Express doesn't. Is that right, or what should be the main fifference? The CAP1702 (whit Clean Air express) is much cheaper than a CAP2702 (with Clean Air 3.0).
thanks in advance and kind regards patrick

It's best to compare the data sheets for each access point, but I would probably lean towards the 2700e, 3600e or 3700e for what you are trying to accomplish. Of course, this will depend upon the size of the organization and budget.

http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/wireless/aironet-2700-series-access-point/index.html
From an 11n perspective, there are a couple of differences that make the 2700 more suitable for this environment, but that's not to say that the 1600 won't work. The 2700 also supports 11ac.

Should I expect a major difference between 2nd gen Airport Extreme and latest version of Express or Extreme?

Assume that I am within 2-3 feet proximity of the the base station - is there really a difference in performance? Also, if I am primarly using the wifi connection, is there any significant difference in the performance of the latest version of the Express vs Extreme?
Thanks!

A second generation AirPort Extreme is a single band unit, either 2.4 or 5 GHz. Both the new Extreme and Express create both wireless networks simultaneously.
There were antenna improvements made about the time of the fourth generation Extreme. Given your proximity to the base stations you are unlikely to observe any differences due to that alone, but the ability to use both 2.4 and 5 GHz networks is a major advantage.

I have a new air port extreme and express.

Both devices are configured and have green light. The express doesnot seem to expand the network. I can stand next to it and get the same two bars as iI get without using only the extreme.

Check your settings as follows:
Open AirPort Utility - select the AirPort Extreme - click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab located just below the row of icons
Make sure that you have a check mark next to "Allow this network to be extended"
Update to save any changes
Open AirPort Utility - select the AirPort Express - click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab below the icons....settings should look like this:
Wireless Mode = Extend a wireless network
Wireless Network Name = Same name as the AirPort Extreme network
Check mark next to "Allow wireless clients"
Wireless Security = Same setting as the AirPort Extreme network
Wireless Password = Same password as the AirPort Extreme network
Confirm Password
Update to save settings
Check for proper operation
