Should/can I still use an older airport extreme model M9397LL/A?  Why buy a newer one?

Someone gave me an Airport Extreme model M9397LL/A.  My daughter just moved out of our house and I was going to set it up at her new place.  Would I be better off buying a newer model. 

This particular AirPort Extreme can only support 802.11b/g networking, and is getting a bit "long on the tooth." I would recommend getting her the latest 5th Gen model if you really care about her.
If she only needs wireless, then the 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) would be a less expensive option.

  • I presently use an older AirPort Extreme but my reception comes & goes does this occur with the new extreme?

    I presently use an older AirPort Extreme but my reception comes & goes. Does this occur with the newer version?

    1)  If the reception comes and goes as a result of wireless interference from other sources in your home and around the home...other wireless networks in the neighborhood....or...nearby cordless phones.....then a new router is likely to experience the same issues. See this Apple support document for symptoms and fixes of wireless interference.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1365
    2) If the reception comes and goes as a result of an aging power supply in the older AirPort Exteme or another component that is intermittently acting up, then a new router should take care of that.
    What we cannot tell you is whether 1) or 2) applies to your situation.  If possible, it would be good idea to take the older AirPort to an Apple Store or Apple Servicer....if you have one near you....to let them take a look.

  • I want to buy a new macbook pro 2012, can i sell my old macbook and put some more money to buy the new one???

    I want to buy a new macbook pro 2012 with retina display, can i sell my old macbook and add some more money to buy the new one???
    Is there any deal like this?

    Apple has a rebuy and recycle program, but you won't get much for your old MBP from that program. Your best bet is to just sell it yourself (I used eBay) and use the money you get to buy your new computer.
    Good luck,

  • Can I use my 2010 AirPort Extreme as a range extender with a new AirPort Extreme?

    I want to use an existing AirPort Extreme (2010 model) with a new AirPort Extreme to extend the range and signal strength into a shop. They are different designations, one n and the other ac. Are they compatible. I need to know before I buy the new router.

    The new AirPort Extreme will provide an ac,n,g,b compatible wireless signal.
    The existing AirPort Extreme can be configured to extend the n,g,b signal, but it cannot extend the ac signal.

  • I've broken my iPad, can the information be saved if I take it to apple and buy a new one?

    I've broken my iPad, if I take it into apple can they get information from it as I've not backed it up in a while, if I buy a new one?

    sorry. your data is likely unretrievable. Presuming the memory chips survived any impact, to get to them would require totally disassembling your device and frankensteining some sort of reader/connection. Which is beyond what will happen in an Apple store.

  • I am running an older airport extreme v7.6.4wireless router with a new netgear rn104 server and cant get the server to show in the MacPro hardware or the on the wireless router

    How do I adjust the settings to get this Netgear server to show and use the Airport Extreme and show up on the hardware of the McPro?

    The server is never going to show on the airport extreme.. it is not wireless.. unless you happen to run v5 airport utility. Most are running v6.
    Is the Netgear setup for dhcp .. the display on the front of the netgear should be showing its IP address.
    What is it??
    What IP is your Mac getting?
    I presume both are plugged into the AE by ethernet.. if not please do so now.
    To open anything but Apple products like AE you open the IP in the browser.. simply type that IP on the front screen of the NAS into your browser. If it doesn't connect you have the setup wrong and something is not using DHCP.. in that case tell me exactly what you are getting.

  • When I try to play netfix on my new mini/ old monitor I get a message to ensure my monitor is HDCP compatible... Is this because I am using an old monitor?  Do I need to buy a new one?

    When I try to play Netflix on y new Mac Mini and old monitor, I get a message asking me to make sure my monitor is HDCP compliant.  Is this because I am using an old monitor?  Do I need a new one?

    All kinds of bugs are being reported with Safari, from sluggish performance to it refusing to load up at all. Some users are seeing an HDCP compliant error message appear when watching Netflix, and possible solutions include switching to Silverlight rather than HTML5 or unplugging display peripherals. Alternatively, you could switch to another browser until either Apple or Netflix get around to fixing the bug.

  • Can I still use my "old" Mac after restoring Time Machine backup to a new Mac?

    Hi guys.
    Will I still be able to use my old Macbook Pro 2008 (Leopard) after restoring his latest Time Machine backup on a new Macbook Pro 2012 (Lion)?
    Using Setup Assistant and transfering data using Time Machine creats the same Account on the new machine that was on the old one. I just don't know how the old machine will react towards his clone. I don't want to make a mess...
    Please let me know.
    Thanks

    It should work if the drive is connected directly to your Mac. That is not the same as saying that it will work.
    Since Mountain Lion was just released, it might make sense to hold on a few weeks and watch the forums for new and unforeseen issues before you dive in.

  • I have an older Airport Extreme (disc shaped) that we use with my wife's PowerBook (OS 10.5.8) and my MacBook Pro (OS 10.9.4).  We currently only have Airport Utility on her Mac, but I want to upgrade the utility so I can use it on mine.

    I have an older Airport Extreme (disc shaped) that we use with my wife's PowerBook (OS 10.5.8) and my MacBook Pro (OS 10.9.4).  We currently only have Airport Utility on her Mac, but I want to upgrade the utility so I can use it on mine. Which version of the utility will work on my MacBook, and still control the older Airport Extreme?

    if I update the Airport to the latest version, and "control" it with my MacBook Pro, will the older G4 still be able to use the signal from the new Airport?
    Yes. Your G4 shouldn't have any difficulty connecting to a Wi-Fi network provided by the latest 802.11ac AirPorts as they support the earlier radio modes that the G4 uses.

  • Need Airport Extreme Model: A1034 Manual (or IP address) for security

    I have an older Airport Extreme Model: A1034 that I'd like to add an access security code to. I don't have the manual any longer and am wondering if anyone knows the URL address and password I'd need to get into an admin level view in order to set the Wireless security.

    Hello september132003. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    The default LAN-side IP address of the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) is: 10.0.1.1. The default base station administrator password is: public.
    However, you will need to use the AirPort Utility to administer the AEBS. Unlike other vendor products, the AEBS does not use a web-based type utility for administration.
    Although the AirPort Utility should be installed with your OS X Leopard, you can get a copy of it from here: AirPort Utility 5.3.2 for Leopard
    You can get a copy of the AEBS Setup Guide from here: AirPort Extreme Base Station Setup Guide

  • How can I set up an older airport express using the newest airport utilities?

    How can I set up an older airport express using the newest airport utilities? Seems like there isn't an option to set this up.  Normally you could add/set up this in the airport setup assistant- but that doesn't exsist any longer.
    Thanks for any suggestions 

    How can I set up an older airport express using the newest airport utilities?
    Unfortunately you can't, since Apple dropped support of the older AirPorts with AirPort Utility 6.x.
    Using some workarounds....not supported by Apple.....you might be able to download and install an older version of AirPort Utility that would allow you to administer the older AirPort.

  • HT4259 Q: Can I use an older Airport Express-g router (not -n) to extend my Airport Extreme-n wireless network? If Yes, are the instructions the same as for adding an Airport Express-n router?

    Q: Can I use my older Airport Express-g router (not -n) to extend my Airport Extreme-n wireless network? If Yes, Are the instructions the same as for adding an Airport Express-n router?

    If you want to extend, using wireless only, the 802.11g Express doesn't support this.
    However, if you want to use bridge mode over Ethernet or Powerline adapters then this is supported.

  • Can I use an old Airport Express to extend the range of a new Airport Express?

    Hi all.  I have an old Airport Express 802.11g (First Gen?) that is starting to fade.  Still works, but not what it used to be.  So I am going to buy a new Airport Express.  I'm not interested in the Airport Extreme.
    Question:  If I use the new Airport Express as my main wireless router, can I plug my old Airport Express into another room as an extender?  In other words, with the old Express and the new Express talk to each other or will a new Express only allow extension with another new Express?
    Thanks!

    Sorry, but the old AirPort Express 802.11 b/g does not have a setting to "Extend a wireless network", so it cannot be used as a extender with the newer AirPort Express if you plan to connect wirelessly.
    If you plan to connect the older Express using a permanent wired Ethernet cable connection, then it could be configured to provide additional wireless signal coverage in that manner.
