Speakers for my tv, i have airport extreme

I've gone back and read a lot of similar questions on this forum but I'm not very Apple TV, regular TV tech savvy so I don't understand a lot of the answers.
I have a Sony Bravia TV, but its a few years old.  I don't think it has bluetooth but I'm not sure how to tell (its hanging on the wall).
I have my a ton of apple stuff:  imac, ipad, iphone, macAir all runing wirelessly thru the house on my Airport extreme. 
I just bought Apple TV and am really enjoying it.  My tv has a couple of speakers in it but i'd like to get a few more for better sound.  I don't even understand what Air play is and my iMac is older.  I'd like all my TV watching (not just apple tv) to come thru more speakers.  How can I do that?  Do I do it thru the tv some how or the Apple tv or the airport?  LOL or won't it work at all?
wifi speakers?  I googled them and keep getting bluetooth. 
Thanks for any help,
Susan

I should have said I live in a house built in 1850 and so can't really run speaker wire thru the walls here.  It would all be visable and I don't want that.  I want everything to come out of the TV built in speakers and another set that I want to buy when I figure out what sort to buy.   I'm not even sure what sort of receiver.  I wish I was more TV savvy.  I'm clueless!
Thanks!

  • I have airport extreme and have windows 2003 what program do i down load for airport utility

    can any one help i tried one but was for windows 2007 no good need it for windows 2003 i have airport extreme just bought it today

    Ok thanks for the info - I am only familiar with Windows so I am going to suggest a typical setup using your Toshiba laptop - you can then use the network with any device - tell me if this works for you.
    Determine which version of Windows that your Toshiba uses.
    Go to http://support.apple.com/downloads/#peripherals
    You will be downloading Airport Utility
    Download version 5.6.1 for Windows 7 or
    Download version 5.5.3 for Windows XP or Vista
    Once you have done this let me know if you will be using this Extreme as your primary router after your modem or is your modem also acting as a router or do you have another router anywhere in your network

  • I have airport extreme as my base, how do I use linksys as the extender

    I have airport extreme as my base, how do I use linksys as the extender

    You would need to connect the Linksys to the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) by Ethernet, and then, configure both of them for a roaming network.

  • I have airport extreme and just purchased a D-Link DCS-932L home network camera.  D-Link says I need UpNp but the extreme doesn't support this.  Can I use port mapping?  if so anyone know how to set that up?  thanks

    I have airport extreme and just purchased a D-Link DCS-932L home network camera.  D-Link says I need UpNp but the extreme doesn't support this.  Can I use port mapping?  if so anyone know how to set that up?  thanks

    Since the D-Link DCS-932L is accessible on the local network via a web browser, you should be able to access this camera from the Internet if your router has a publically accessible Public IP address. If your ISP provides you with a dynamic Public IP address, you may want to use a DDNS service to make it easier for you to locate your camera whenever your ISP changes your IP address.
    Start the AirPort Utility > Select the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn).
    Select Manual Setup.
    Verify that Connection Sharing = Share a public IP address is selected on the Internet > Internet Connection tab.
    Select Advanced, and then, select the Port Mapping tab.
    Click the plus sign to add a new port mapping.
    For Service, leave the default; this will change to "Custom" once you start entering port values.
    In the Public UDP Port(s) and Public TCP Port(s) boxes, type in a 4-digit port number (e.g., 8888) that you choose. In the Private IP Address box, type the internal IP address of your camera. In the Private UDP Port(s) and Private TCP Port(s) boxes, enter the appropriate port values that should have been provided to you by the camera manufacturer. Click Continue.
    In the Description box, type a descriptive name like "Internet Camera Access," and then, click Done.
    Click on Update.
    To connect to the shared Camera from a remote location using a Mac or PC:
    Start your favorite web browser.
    Enter either your Public IP address or DDNS-provided Domain Name, followed by a colon and the Public port number that you choose in step 7 of the previous procedure. For example: http://123.123.123.123:8888 or http://www.mydtdnsdomainname.com:8888

  • I have Airport Extreme as the base unit and an Express unit in a room separated by a brick wall to improve signal. Express shows a green light indicating signal but my iPad does not perform well. How can I improve other than hardwire ethernet connection?

    I have Airport Extreme as the base unit and an Express unit in a room separated by a brick wall to improve signal. Express shows a green light indicating signal but my iPad does not perform well. How can I improve other than hardwire ethernet connection?

    Other suggestions, and more info about the nature of the problem, may be in this Apple tech note.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1365
    For example, you might find that the brick wall is not the only problem. There may be other devices pumping out enough wireless interference to be making things even worse.
    I agree with Bob Timmons that Ethernet is best and most reliable. And that powerline (which I use) is easier and potentially faster than wireless...but only if your power lines do not have electrical devices plugged in which produce electrical noise on the line. Powerline will be slower than Gigabit Ethernet.
    Ethernet cable is the only way to ensure that the signal goes directly there in a shielded way for a clear fast signal. Wireless and powerline are much slower because of all the other things the signal has to fight past to get to the other device.

  • What is the default ip address for the Time Capsule and Airport Extreme?

    What is the default ip address for the Time Capsule and Airport Extreme?

    Open Airport Utility to find out the real IP address of the network connection. DHCP addresses are assigned by the router in the range chosen in Airport Utility.

  • I have AirPort Extreme connected for Wi-Fi.

    I have had great luck with my AirPort Extreme to run internet on my Mac-Book Pro until the power to the unit was accidentally flipped off. Now, the modem is connected and the unit has a green light, but I can't connect to the internet on any computer in the house. I have unplugged and checked with the cable company, but it still is not connecting. Any advice?

    I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
    Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
    Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
    Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
    Power-up your computer(s).
    Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results.

  • What are the setting for a p1102w printer does Airport Extreme have to have so the printer can find it?

    I recently bought an Airport Extreme and a HP P1102W printer.  The printer can not find the Airport Extreme network, even after turning off the network security.   Is there a setting that needs to change so the printer will see the network?  I am using a MacBook Pro.

    I only have an iPad. I consulted HP Product Support and they told me to activate WPS on my E1200 router. The printer then connected to the router and obtained an IPv4 address. But it changed the netwrok name and disconnected my iPad. Initially my network had a default name Ciscoxxxxx but now it created a new network Cisco_WPS_nnnn. I tried to join this network but it was asking me for a 8-character password that I don't know. Linksys support asked me to upgrade to EA4500 router. But since i have Apple TV, iPad and iPhone, I thought I would buy an Apple router instead. But before I jump in this direction, I want to make sure that it will work for me. I know I can return this product but I don't want to turn this into a major project. Thanks.

  • Have airport extreme, square model, have a external harddrive to use as back up(formated for mac)hooked it up to the usb port in back. can't find it on my computer. what am i doing wrong

    have the airport extreme, square model. have a external harddrive formated for mac hooked up to the usb port in back.
    i can't find the harddrive on the computer for back up in timemachine. what am i doing wrong?

    First, if you are not aware, you need to know that Apple does not officially support Time Machine backups to a drive at the USB port of the AirPort Extreme.
    That may be part of the problem here, so if you want to continue to try this, you need to understand that there are no guarantees of success.
    Some users do seem to be able to make this work, but most have some problems and some....like me....have nothing but problems when they try this.
    If you want to continue to try this, the first thing to verify is that the drive is formatted specifically in Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Have you verified that the drive is formatted correctly by connecting it directly to your Mac and using Disk Utility to check?
    Some drives that are advertised as being "compatible for Mac" are not formatted correctly in Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Time Machine has no chance of success unless the drive is first formatted correctly.
    I would also ask that you consider leaving the drive connected to your Mac for Time Machine backups. That will be supported, and is a far more reliable way to keep backups if your data is important to you.
    Next, we need to know what operating system you are running on your Mac. If you do not know, click the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the screen and then click About This Mac.  Post back with the OS X Version number that you see there.

  • Can two macs use same disk for Time Machine backup with Airport Extreme?

    Hi
    I use a Western Digital disk as a wireless Time Machine backup connected to the USB port on my Airport Extreme and it works great. My question is: can my girlfriend use that same disk for Time Machine backup from HER computer too? (I don't mind formatting the disk if needed.)
    If she can't, is it then possible to connect a USB hub and have two disks hooked up to the Airport Extreme?
    Thanks for helping. I am constantly in awe of all the help people like you give people like me. Thanks!!!
    Jakob

    I've gone through the manual setup and the assisted setup and can't seem to get my MacBook to use the Time Machine. Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated.
    Well, as the Jolly Giant points out....+this type of configuration is not supported by Apple+, so it's difficult, if not impossible, to provide a fix for something that Apple says that you cannot do. Reference these Apple Support documents regarding this topic:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2038
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/15139.html
    Your situation is not unlike other users who try this and find that one computer may backup...(usually for a limited time before corruption issues start to creep in)...but another computer cannot backup. Count me as one of those users who thought that because things seemed to work that I had somehow "beat the system".
    I started getting the corruption error messages after 4-5 weeks of successful backups, so I figured that it did not make sense to continue to try to get a second computer to backup (yes, I too could not setup a second Mac to backup).
    Sorry, I could not get a second machine to backup, so can't tell you how to accomplish that goal. If you want to continue to try backing up this way, you might want to also think about a second backup strategy...just in case backups become corrupted on the WD drive.
    Maybe if Apple says you cannot do this, they just may be right?

  • I have airport extreme 802.11AC as a base that connect to Cable modem. How can I connect D-link DIR-655 to AE to utilize as an extender or repeat?

    Hello-
    I have wireless router Airport Extreme 802.11AC that connect direct to Cable modem...how can I setup the D-Link DIR-655 wireless router to AE and act as extender or repeater?. Thanks in advance.

    Apple has done their best to install proprietary software in their wireless routers that is designed to only allow other Apple routers to repeat or extend the network wirelessly.
    So, the chances are extremely small that a D-Link....or another other router for that matter.....could be configured to do what you ask.
    There are no settings on an AirPort Extreme that would allow a D-Link device to extend the network, so all that you can do is experiment with different settings on the D-Link device to see if it might be possible for it to extend the network.
    A post on a D-Link support forum might be a good idea to see if any D-Link specialists have some ideas on this topic.
    Good luck.

  • Port Forwarding for Cisco camera WVC80N and AirPort Extreme

    I have set up my camera to the Apple AirPort Extreme on a Windows 8 computer, but now get an error saying, "The setup wizard cannot set up TZO DDNS with your network for remote viewing." After clicking on the Learn How to Remotely View my Camera, it suggests I need to get Port Fowarding for my router" And iot suggests my router password is incorrect which it is not. Any help for a BEGINNER would be appreciated. I cannot find the IP address for the camera or my computer either.
    Cisco support is NO help at all. ANY help would be appreciated. PLEASE MAKE IT SIMPLE. I can set it up on my MAC desktop also if that is better. Thanks so much

    I have a D-Link DCS-920 I would like to view over the internet using my Airport Extreme.
    Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
    According to the manual for that device (available here
    ftp://ftp.dlink.com/Multimedia/dcs920/Manual/dcs920manual100.zip
    you should set the port number that the camera uses to something other than port 80. You'd then use AirPort Utility (the "Advanced" panel, "Port Mapping" tab) to map that TCP port and the camera's "private IP address" to a public TCP port. (I'm not sure what to use for "Service". You might try "Personal Web Sharing". It may also not matter once you chance the port number.) You'll need to know the WAN ("public") IP address of your AirPort Extreme. With that done you should be able to view the camera at that WAN IP address and the declared public port.

  • HT3275 I have attached an external hard drive via usb to back up my OSX Snow Leopard.  When I open Time Machine and click set up time machine, I then click Select Disk but there is nothing to select. No information is in the box. I do have Airport Extreme

    Not sure how this all works but my problem is this:  I have attached an external hard drive to my mac snow leopard 10.6 and am trying to back up my computer through Time Machine.  When asked to select the drive as part of the set up, there is nothing to select.  The box is empty. How do I set up Time Machine for back ups with an external drive? I am running Airport Extreme WI-FI (VERY confusing as I did not know the difference between Extreme and Capsule).  Now to add another component...how does Icloud figure into all of this if I want to back up my computer systems, documents, etc?  Is this a simplier way as long as I download Lion?  Help!!!

    Hello,
    Problem is likely the Format of the External drive, for TM it needs to be Mac OSX extended Journaled & GUID Partition scheme for Intel based Macs...
    How to format your disks...
    http://www.kenstone.net/fcp_homepage/partitioning_tiger.html
    (To Install OSX on an IntelMac the Drive it needs the GUID Partitioning scheme mentioned at the bottom.)

    There are other free options for backing up if interested!

  • TS1253 i have airport extreme, and printer works with my imac, but not with my mac book pro??

    i tried setting up the printer under my wireless network only, and using the printer information, tried both and nothing works, my imac's same settings for the printer, and just cant get it to work.
    i am ussing airport extreme, and it shows printer conecting etc. but then it says not programed correctly and it fails.
    i dont know what else to try, i have followed every step on the manual, and nothing works..
    someone help me

    Could you open System Profiler on the iMac and the MBPro and select the Printers entry. Then in the top right pane you can select the printers entry and the bottom right pane will show information about your setup. Can you copy this information from both Mac's and paste back here.

  • HT4259 This article is outdated (as well as others). I have Airport Extreme (latest) and Time Capsule (earlier version) and newest Airport Utility version.

    I have difficulty in setting up the newest Airport Extreme with Time Capsule. How to wire Time Capsule over ethernet is so confusing and the documentation I found is outdated.

    OK, thanks for the clarification.
    Disconnect the Ethernet cable if it is plugged into the Time Capsule at this time.
    With the Time Capsule powered on, hold in the reset button on the back of the device for 9-10 seconds and then release. Allow a full minute for the Time Capsule to restart to a slow, blinking amber light.
    This will not affect any backups that you might have already stored on the Time Capsule.
    Connect the Ethernet cable to the WAN "O" port on the Time Capsule. I assume that you have tested the Ethernet cable independently to make sure that it is working correctly.
    Click the AirPort icon at the top of the Mac's screen and wait a few seconds for a listing of New AirPort Base Station to appear. Just below that, click directly on Time Capsule.  The screenshot below shows an AirPort Express.....you will see Time Capsule on your screen.
    AirPort Setup will open up automatically and take a minute to analyze the network, then announce that the Time Capsule will be configured to extend the AirPort Extreme network.
    Enter a device name that you want to use for the Time Capsule. You can use the same name that you used before, then click Next.
    Now AirPort Setup will indicate that the Time Capsule is being configured to extend using Ethernet. When you see the message of Setup Complete, click Done.  That's it.
