Setting up a home network: AirPort Extreme & AiPort Express

I'd like to setup my home network with both my new Aiport Extreme and my existing AirPort Express.
Ideally, the setup would be as follows:
Ethernet Network Connection + External HD via USB --> AirPort Extreme
Home Speakers --> AirPort Express
I know that I want my Extreme to act at the main, then the Express to operate on the same network as a relay or remote. I've tried to follow all of the online support documentation to manually configure a WPA. No matter what configuration I use, I run into trouble.
Any advice?
MacBook 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Mac OS X (10.4.9) 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM

From your post, I assume you have the new square 802.11n Extreme. Download the Airport Utility (it is not the same as the Airport Admin Utility) from the disk that was provided with the Extreme. It is a little round icon with a blue Airport Symbol in the center and is below Airport Admin Utility in your Utilities Folder. You may have to do a factory reset on the Extreme and I know you're going to have to do one on the Express.
Set your system up on the Extreme first after factory reset. Choose the type of security you wish to use. Call the system something different than your original system like putting use "New" before the system name. You can't carry forward either system names or passwords to the new system. Then when you set the password for security I'd use something different than the original password.
Once your system is built, do a factory reset on the Express by using a paper clip or ballpoint pen. Unplug the Express, push in on the reset button with the paper clip or pen point. The while still depressing the reset button, plug the Express back into the outlet. You'll get a few quick green light flashes, then several rapid blinking amber lights. Wait until the amber light stops blinking then you can stop depressing the reset button. It takes a few minutes for the Express to come on line.
Go to the Airport Utility and you should see your Extreme as the base station and then the Express will come up with the factory ID.
Configure from there.

  • Setting up an extended network from extreme with express

    Hi,
    Let me just explain what I am trying to do and I would love any help or suggestions.
    I have the modem going into the airport extreme.  The extreme is about 30 feet away, hard wired and hanging upside down in my hallway (should it be on the wall or upside down on ceiling?) From the airport extreme I have a cable going to a 8 port hub which I have my PS3, XBOX 360, Roku, Apple TV, 3D DVD and two 3D Tv's hooked up so there all hardwired.   Another cable is coming from the airport extreme and I want to take that further into the house down the hallway and wire that into an aiport express which would then boost my signal.  Is my thought process wrong there? I know I can do all that with my airport extreme, and then putting my airport express within range of the extreme I can wirelessly extend the network but I was thinkning I could have a wifi network from the extreme and then have the airport express hardwired to boost the network instead of it boosting it wirlessly.  If I am not making sense let me know.  I had the airport express extending the network wirelessly but it was not helping at all.  Both are brand new, the extreme and the express.  The wireless clients are all new also, new macbook, macbook pro, 2009 iMac, 3 iPhone 4's and 2 iPad 2's so I am pretty sure there all wireless N devices so it should not slow down  my network right?  I have no techincal background, just learning this from reading forums etc so I am trying to give all information that I can think of thats useful.  Please ask any question and I will answer, I just hope I can figure something out.  I live in a 1400 square foot apartment so it surprises me that the extreme (new dual band etc) doesnt give me internet everywhere let alone with also having an airport express extending the network.  In the back two bedrooms and bathroom which are down the hallway and about 25 feet from the extreme have signal that is so bad that sometimes I cant even read simple RSS feeds let alone download app updates etc on my devices.  I have setup the airport extreme to have both 2.4ghz and 5ghz networks and I see them both on all devices except for my iPhone.  I have changed the channels for both frequencies by using Tumblr I believe it was and seeing what channels all the networks around me are.  My present internet speeds aer 18mbs down and 2 mb up when I am sitting next to the aiport extreme and in direct line of sight.  This also holds true on my iMac and laptops in the same room.  The laptops in the backrooms get internet and I can do more with them than my iOS devices but even on there I have a hard time streaming etc.   I am trying to get internet back there for my sons room, I have a wifi camera that I want to setup in there and so he can use an iPad there (he is 20 months which is why I want the camera) and for my room I have another Roku and Apple TV that barely get signal and are constantly buffering.
    I am about to wall mount the exstreme with an airmount and am looking to permanently set everything up so please any suggestions, or hints, or things I need to be aware of please do tell. I would hate to mount everything and run the cables etc and miss something obvious.  I appreciate your guys help and thanks for taking the time to read this.
    basically
    modem =  airport extreme, that = (8 port hub)+(wired to aiport express) the express would then put out a wifi network to go along with the aiport extreme.

    The extreme is about 30 feet away, hard wired and hanging upside down in my hallway (should it be on the wall or upside down on ceiling?
    The ceiling will normally provide the best coverage in a typical room. The whole idea here is to limit obstructions between the AirPort Extreme and devices receving the wireless signal. Wall mounting can work well, again with the idea being to provide a clear signal path to devices.
    Another cable is coming from the airport extreme and I want to take that further into the house down the hallway and wire that into an aiport express which would then boost my signal.
    This type of configuration will provide the best bandwidth for the wireless network, and also allow you to locate the AirPort Express where it work most effectively. You want to configure what is known as a "roaming" network. The AiirPort Express will be configured using the same wireless network name, security setting and password as the AirPort Extreme. It is mandatory that the AirPort Express be configured in Bridge Mode when you do this.

  • When attempting  to set a password on my Airport Extreme guest network i get this "Advertising a service globally using Bonjour requires a global hostname." What can i do to set password on this network?

    When attempting to set a password on my Airport Extreme Guest Network i get this "Advertising a service globally using Bonjour requires a global hostname." What does it mean. Or what i need to do to correct it.

    When trying to troubleshoot my problem I discovered a forum that was saying certain NTFS drives work just fine
    Apple support says that an NTFS or exFAT drive cannot be used when connected to the AirPort Extreme.
    I suppose it is possible that someone might have been using some type of special software on the drive that might perform a "conversion", but without more details, it is hard to know.
    Note: ExFAT and NTFS formats aren't supported.

  • How to Set Up Time Capsule With Airport Extreme and Airport Express

    Just got a new 1TB Time Capsule. I want it to be the main base station for my network. I already have a network set up with an older Airport Extreme base station and an Airport Express to extend it. I am thinking that rather than setting up the Time Capsule to "join" the old network, the best approach is to disconnect the Airport Extreme and Airport Express and reset them. Then set up the Time Capsule as a brand new network and bring the reset Aiport Extreme and Express onto the new network as if my original network never existed.
    Is that the right approach or am I complicating it? Can I just join the Time Capsule to the existing network and still make it the main base station for the network?

    I'd first use AirPort Utility to "Save a Copy As" of your AirPort Extreme settings. Then disconnect it, connect the Time Capsule in its place, and use AirPort Utility's "Import" function to read those settings. (Both of those functions are under AirPort Utility's "File" menu.) You may have to adjust a few settings. Once you have the Time Capsule working as you want, you can reconfigure your AirPort Extreme unit as you wish.

  • I have an airport extreme and express, if I use the extreme as a base station connected to my old router can I use the express to extend the signal while also creating a new network that only I can use?

    I have an airport extreme and express, if I use the extreme as a base station connected to my old router can I use the express to extend the signal while also creating a new network that only I can use? Essentially having two wifi connection off the same network? If so how do I set this up?

    Extending using a wireless connection always results in a performance compromise.
    If the Express is going to extend using a wireless connection, then the Express will need to be located about half way between the AirPort Extreme and the general area where you need more wireless coverage. The more that you have line-of-sight between the Extreme and Express, the better the network will operate.
    Remember......the Express can only "extend" the quality and signal speed that it receives, so it needs to be located where it can get a very good signal from the Extreme. Although Apple cleverly uses the term "extend", a more accurate term for the Express would be "repeater".
    If the Express will extend by connecting to the Extreme using a permanent, wired Ethernet cable connection......highly recommended for best performance.....then the Express can be located exactly where you need more wireless coverage. There is no signal loss at all through the Ethernet cable, so the Express gets a full speed signal no matter where it might be located.
    Post back to let us know which way to you want to go.

  • I want to set up a home network to be able to watch my movies and litsen to music across multiple platforms without keeping my laptop connected.

    I want to set up a home network to be able to watch my movies and litsen to music across multiple platforms.  I have movies purchased from itunes as well as movies from my DVD collection that i converted to an .m4v format.  I currently have these movies stored on an external harddrive. To watch a movie on my apple tv I have to ensure my external hard drive is connected to my macbook pro, then play the movie on my macbook pro and "mirror" it to my apple tv.
    Ideally I would like to be able to watch movies from my collection without having to have my laptop on and work from that.  Is it possible to navigate my collection from my Apple TV and play it on my Apple TV.  My macbook pro is the machine I primarily use for work and school it is quite the protological nuissance to have to hook all that up everytime I want to watch a movie.
    My thoughts are that I could take my old dekstop pc, attach an external hard drive to that and make that my "media storage".  If I were to do that would I then be able to watch movies as well as select which movie I want to watch from my library through my apple TV without my macbook pro being in the equation?  Or if I should desire to watch a movie from my library through my Macbook Pro, Iphone 4s, and ipad is that possible?  I basically want to set up my library to be accessible from any of my devices.
    My devices are; the previously mentioned Apple Tv, macbook pro, iphone 4s, ipad 3. I also have a desktop PC running windows 7, xbox 360 and playstation 3 (the xbox and PS3 would be nice if they could too but wouldnt break my heart as they are my roommate's and not mine so I rarely use them.)
    Thank you for any help/advice you guys may have!

    atv's can only access media from
    1. a computer which is turned on running itunes
    2. the internet
    no other options
    and NAS's which say they can work as itunes libs don't work

  • Trouble setting up a home network

    Hi,
    I have the Actiontec M1424-WR router.  I am trying to set up a home network with a Desktop on XP and a Laptop on Vista.
    I have been able to creat a network if the Desktop and Laptop are both connected to the Router with Cat5 Cables.
    I can not set up a network if I have the Desktop connected via the Cat5 and the Laptop using the Wireless Card.
    I've called VZ, won't help.  I've emailed Actiontec, couldn't help.  I've Googled etc.  I'm stumped!  This can't be a unique situation.
    If anyone can help it would be much appreciated. 
    Thanks!

    Log on to the computer.
    Click the Start button ‌, and then click Connect To.
    Choose the wireless network from the list that appears, and then click Connect.
    Type the security key (which is the WEP key stamped on the Routers tag) and then click OK.
    You will see a confirmation message when you are connected to the network.
    To confirm that you added the computer, do the following:
    Open Network by clicking the Start button and then clicking Network.
    You should see the icons for the computer you added and for the other computers and devices that are part of the network.
    Side note:It’s important to use the same workgroup name for all of the computers on your network. This makes it possible for computers running different versions of Windows to detect and access each other. Remember that the default workgroup name is not the same in all versions of Windows.

  • Can I boost the DSL signal using my 1st Generation Airport Extreme or Express? Also, can I get wireless printing?

    Can I boost the DSL signal using my 1st Generation Airport Extreme or Express?
    I just moved into a house where they have ATT DSL and it is really slow in my room.  I am hoping that I don't have to purchase a booster and I might be able to use my Airport Extreme or Express to boost it.  I don't think they want my Extreme as their router, though.  They are PC.
    I am also hoping that I can set up a wireless printing situation in my room using the Express or Extreme.

    Unfortunately, this won't work especially if you want the connection between the routers to be wireless. The two are just not compatible for configuring an extended network. However, it could work if you can have them interconnected by wire. In that case, you could configure them into a roaming network.
    I don't think they want my Extreme as their router, though.  They are PC.
    This shouldn't be an issue as the AirPorts support wireless clients regardless of which operating system they are running.

  • Airport extreme and express & apple TV

    I have an airport extreme and express & apple TV. I'd like to do the following:
    1) Extend the network via the express
    2) Enable the express to stream music to the stereo from the apple TV
    I am sure someone has figured this out but I can't find the answer...
    Thank you

    Firstly, the easiest bit (although I don't believe you need to do this):
    I would try "downgrading" the Extreme station's network type to only b/g (excluding n entirely), but I don't see that option in the radio settings anymore
    You will get additional settings if you hold down the option key while browsing the radio settings drop down menu.
    Moving on: Unfortunately a dropped connections seems to be a problem with umpteen causes and not only is it difficult to troubleshoot with someone in a forum it can also be made even more difficult because many problems are associated with network settings on a router that the person who is trying to help is unfamiliar with.
    However you seem to be convinced your problems arise when your express is running which may narrow things down a little if correct, if not it may actually lead us away from the answer to your issue.
    Is it the kind of security I'm running? Should I try WEP or... none at all?
    I use WPA and have no problems (password = 8 Characters)
    Should I attach it a different way? Perhaps manually set it to "participate in a WDS network" or "extend a wireless network?
    I have my expresses set to participate in a WDS network, but that's because I use them for other things other than itunes, I would have thought 'join a network' would be fine.
    You could check that all your devices are using independent IP addresses and all are using the same subnet. You could also check that no two devices have the same mac address, I've been told a million times this can't happen, but I've seen it. You may be wise to check these things before and after your devices have been 'kicked off the network", you may even want to write them down to see if any are changing.

  • For four years Ive been unable to use my home network as anticipated. I have ADSL connection with O2, airport extreme, three expresses, two minis 10.6.8 and 10.7.3, and two pros 10.6.8 and 10.7.3, and a cinema thbolt display. Id like to use bbc iplayer.

    I am unable to stream video and I lose connection frequently. Ive tried it using wireless connection and with ethernet. Ive tried using the O2 router (%series) as a modem for the extreme, Ive tried using the O2 without the extreme - not poss to extend network but MUCH faster, and Ive tried using a variety of other routrers and modems. My flat is 10m x 6m, there are no other wireless devices within or immediately adjoining except for my wireless landline phone that I have changed three times. Every single piece of my home network has been to the genius bar at least three times and the entire network with all devices has been taken twice. Genius bar have found either no fault or no explanation. Applecare dont seem able to tie their own shoe laces and have been worse than useless, suggesting things like checking a plug fuse (good advice but not relevant). I met a chap socially who turned out to be an apple employee home networking specialist. He offered to look at it and came to my flat. I quote him now: "F**k me, its just not supposed to do tha., Theres something seriously wrong with the system. It's an Apple problem completely". However, despite repeated requests I have not been invited to escalate the issue beyond the genius bar. Enen though everything possible is apple (they dont make a modem for ADSL??), all I get from them is it must be the fault of something else.
    PS Ive had my O2 connection checked tens of times and paid for a bt engineer to check my line 4 times.
    PPS The thunderbolt display was sold to me after I refused one on the grounds that the location of my mini was more than 2 metres from the display, and the salesperson reassured me that the thunderbolt connection was universally available and that  would have no problem connecting the display to my mini 5 metres away.
    I may well not be  too bright when it comes to computers, but with their attitude of there being NO SUCH THING AS A BAD/FAULTY APPLE PRODUCT, ONLY SILLY CUSTOMERS WHO HAVENT WORKED OUT HOW TO USE THEM YET, I wish I will soon see their brand will rot in commercial oblivion ****. I have focused this on home netwrking but that is the tip of the iceberg. However, having invested so much of my life and my money in what I have, please can any of you good people out there show me the foolish error of my simple ways?

    Hi Zac, sorry to hear about your troubles, but that's why us other users are here to try to help in these instances.
    Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this connection drop happens.

  • Setting up my home network

    Hi guys,
    I want to setup my home network with my devices and I would like to know the best setup possible.
    I have to configure:
    1X 2TB Time Capsule
    1X Airport Extreme
    2X Aiport Express
    The 2 Express are for speakers in differant rooms.
    I can not link any with ethernet cables. Unfortunately.
    It has to be wireless.
    How I did set it up before was the TC was the master hooked up to the modem and all the other were setup as extende wireless network.
    The result was not very good. Often I have cut and dops form my laptop and with the remote app.
    How would you recommande to set it up?
    Cheers,

    I can not link any with ethernet cables. Unfortunately.
    Have you ruled out powerline adapters? They can sometimes work pretty well, bridging distances that wireless can't.

  • Extending my network Airport Extreme - Airport Express

    This morninig I took receipt of a new Airport Extreme.
    I have setup a new wireless network and I am now trying to extend its range using my existing Airport express units.
    I am using the new Airport utility to configure the setup.
    After having selected the Aiport network to extend, I then give my base station a new name, click "continue" and get the following error message:
    AirPort Utility is unable to set up this base station for WDS because this computer does not have an AirPort card installed.
    Which is crazy since I have a new MacPro with a card installed!!
    Any ideas?

    Are you connecting the new base to your network
    (or
    computer) via an ethernet cable? If not, try
    that.
    This is how I ended up configuring my AE-N base,
    and
    it worked fine. I also configured my Airport
    Express stations the same way. This way when the
    units restart, they never lose connectivity.
    Jeff
    Hello Jeff,
    I have a mac pro connected to the new base station
    via an
    ethernet cable. I then have another ethernet cable
    which connects the new Airport Extreme base station
    to mt DSL modem.
    Is that what you mean?
    Anthony, did you ever get an answer to this? I'm having similar problems and cannot seem to find someone who has solved them. Please let me know if you've figured out a solution.
    thanks!

  • Setup a wired network  between Time Capsule, Airport Extreme and Express

    I currently have a Time Capsule, Airport Extreme N and an Airport Express N. They are currently connected wirelessly via the "extend network" mode. So I do have wireless connection throughout my home but I notice that it is slow especially compared to gigabit Ethernet. I now like to do the same but then connect the three devices over Ethernet as I have on each floor also Ethernet connections available that are connected via a wired switch.
    How can I configure the three devices in such a way that they use the gigabit Ethernet wired connections as their "backbone" and then give wireless access to each floor as if it is one wireless network, and where I can connect other wired gigabit devices via the time capsule and airport extreme Ethernet ports?
    I have one Internet connection that comes via Ethernet from my cable modem. This is now connected to my time capsule who creates the internal network and assigns internal IP addresses.
    Can anybody advise how to configure each device? And to which ethernet port I should Airport Extreme?
    Thanks
    Alexander

    Welcome to the discussion area, Alexander!
    +How can I configure the three devices in such a way that they use the gigabit Ethernet wired connections as their "backbone" and then give wireless access to each floor as if it is one wireless network, and where I can connect other wired gigabit devices via the time capsule and airport extreme Ethernet ports?+
    You will be setting up what is known as a "roaming" network using the etherent backbone for your network. This will produce the best possible bandwidth on your network for both ethernet and wireless connections.
    _On the Time Capsule_
    Open AirPort Utility - Click Manual Setup
    Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons
    Remove the check mark next to "Allow this network to be extended" (This is only checked if you are extending your network using wireless only and you will be using ethernet to connect your devices, not wireless).
    Update to save changes and the Time Capsule configuration is complete.
    _On the AirPort Extreme_
    Connect an ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule to your ethernet switch. Then connect another ethernet connection from the switch to the WAN (circle icon) port on the AirPort Extreme.
    Open AirPort Utility - Click Manual Setup
    Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons
    Wireless Mode = Create a wireless network (Not extend as you might think. Extend is only used if the Time Capsule and AirPort Express are connecting using wireless only)
    Wireless Network Name = Exact same name as your AirPort Extreme wireless network
    Radio Mode = Same setting as your AirPort Extreme
    Channel = Automatic
    Wireless Security = Exact same setting as your AirPort Extreme wireless network
    Wireless Password = Same password as your AirPort Extreme wireless
    Confirm Password
    Click the Internet icon
    Connect Using = Ethernet
    Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
    Update to save changes and configuration is complete
    _On the AirPort Express_
    You can connect an ethernet cable from the switch..or..from one of the LAN <-> ports on either the Time Capsule or AirPort Extreme, whichever is easier.
    Set it up exactly the same as the AirPort Extreme above and update to save changes.
    Power off the Time Capsule, AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express for a few moments. Then power up the Time Capsule first and let it run a moment, then power up the AirPort Extreme and then the AirPort Express.
    If you have a laptop running Leopard or Snow Leopard, you can move your computer around and check to see which device it is connecting to for wireless. Hold down the option key while you click on the fan shaped AirPort icon at the top of the screen and look for the BSSID. That is the AirPort ID of the device to which you are connected at the time.
    To get the AirPort ID of each of your Apple routers, open AirPort Utility and click on a device on the left. On the right, you'll see the AirPort ID for that device.
    For ethernet connections, you can plug into an available port on the switch, the Time Capsule, or the AirPort Extreme.
    You should be all set. Please post back on your progress.

  • Setting up a Home Network w/ Snow Leopard server

    I would like suggestions on how to best configure a home network.
    One of my main goals is to enable my 5 kids to share 3 computers and my mini server.
    I would like them to each have an account with the same files and set up available on each computer.
    My wife and I also have laptops connected to the network.
    My computers are listed below.
    I have Airport extreme and some external hard drives also.

    Is it advisable to use the same Hard Drive that the server is running off as a sharepoint?
    It doesn't matter too much - the only issue is from a restore point of view - what will you lose if the server creams in? From that perspective, it probably makes sense to have the OS on one drive and the 'shared area' (if that's what you're going to do) on the other drive. Then, once you have everything set up and working how you like, use Disk Utility or CarbonCopyCloner or something similar to image the OS drive onto an external HD for speedy restore purposes, and maybe set up Time Machine on the server itself to back up the shared area and probably the /Users/ directory to another external drive - 1TB+ if you have it.
    Remember that in order for the drive to be useable as a TM destination, it has to be formatted in a way that OS X can understand, so GUID partition table and probably Mac OS Extended (Journaled). The reason I point that out is that some NAS drives (you mentioned a Hip something or other which I'm not familiar with but may fall under this category) run their own partition tables etc, sometimes even running their own OS (which can be Win 98 or similar) thus rendering them useless from this point of view.
    Other things to think about are how you're using your space. Remember that if each user account has iTunes with a load of songs, that is going to suck up space on your server very quick. If that's the case, perhaps consider dumping everyone's songs onto a sharepoint and setting that as the iTunes storage location for each user's iTunes. Alternatively, with iTunes 9 you can now share music libraries between multiple computers (providing they're all using the same Apple ID). Of course that throws up iPod/iPhone syncing problems, so keep it all in mind.
    Furthermore (I think you've already mentioned this), see what you can put on the shared area instead of in users Documents folder. For example, if one of them has a load of family photos - put them all on the shared area. Stuff you don't want the kids to have access to (financial documentation etc) can still be put on the shared area, but can be protected with user account-based permissions (this is where server OS's and networked user accounts really come into their own), or just leave within one user account.
    And for goodness sake, especially if you have things you don't want the kids to have access to, don't let the main server account be the one that the kids use to log on to the server for every-day purposes, since they will then have access to everything (since the main admin account on any mac is by default 'root', which means it is the account which is allowed to do absolutely anything to an OS, including changing permissions etc etc)

  • Trouble setting up wireless cameras with airport extreme

    I am trying to set up my alarm dot com wireless cameras and am having trouble getting them to connect to my Airport Extreme. With my prior D-Link router, there was no issue, but since upgrading to the Extreme, I can get them to locate the network, but not connect.

    Add me to the list of people with Netgear DM111P ADSL modem and AEBS(n)...I can connect fine to the internet directly from MB Pro to modem, and for the last couple months have used the Netgear with my trusty AEX, no problem.
    Now I finally get my AEBS from Canada (here in Dubai, UAE) and I have wasted hours trying to get on the internet with the AEBS. I have it configured exactly the same as the AEX is! One works fine, the other not at all. Exasperating.
    I am using the Netgear with PPPoA Bridging (the correct setting for the ISP here and what works with the AEX and direct connection). The AEBS shows it is getting the IP correctly and has a solid green light. My MB Pro shows it is getting an IP from the AEBS's DHCP server. And shows entries for the DNS servers.
    Yet..no internet. From the number of complaints with this exact same setup...it ain't me...I have used and configured over a dozen routers and modems from all major manufacturers, used DSL/ADSL/cable, PPPoe, PPPoA, etc etc...and I'm stumped.
