Time to upgrade my 1st Generation Airport Extreme?

As the title says, thinking it's time to upgrade my 1st Generation Airport Extreme (Draft 'n') to the latest 5th generation model, just to be clear my existing Extreme is the current form factor white square design and not the very earlier dome version (although I did have one of those too once upon a time).
Here's my thinking/question, current Extreme has been a great trusty workhorse since new, reliable and generally rock solid performance, however a recent upgrade to a super fast 'Fibre To The Home' internet connection is making me think it's time for an upgrade to solve low speed/throughput issues with the current Extreme setup.
With my current iMac networked to the wall mounted Fibre (1000 Mbps ethernet) router via Cat 5e I'm getting amazing speeds on speedtest.net (i.e 760 Mbps down and 228 Mbps up), however when wirelessly connected to the Extreme with my iPhone 4S and MacBook (Black) I get the following speedtest.net results:
iPhone 4S: 17 Mbps down and 34 Mbps up
Macbook: 24 Mbps down and 63 Mbps up
(Interesting that the uploads seem to have better connection/throughput than the downloads, normally the opposite applies?)
I understand that the current Extreme is somewhat crippled as it features 100 Mbps Ethernet ports (latest models have 1000 Mbps), however the wireless speeds still seem way below what I would expect (i.e. nearer 100 Mbps), both the 4S and Macbook are within feet of the Extreme.
The Extreme is set to 'n' only 2.4 Ghz, bridge mode (letting the wall mounted Fibre router do all the routing/DHCP work) via Ethernet Cat5 from one of the 4 Ethernet ports on the wall mounted Fibre router to the Extreme WAN port, tried various channels, 1, 6 and 11. Current Firmware 7.6.1 on the extreme. I have also disabled the wireless connection/network on the Fibre router to avoid any possible interference with the Airport network.
So my main question is, should I look to upgrade to the latest Extreme model, will this improve the wireless speeds, based on my setup what wireless speeds could/should I expect with a new Extreme, or am I missing/overlooking something within the current setup?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks John, this certainly helped.
Speedtest.net results:
2.5 Ghz n: 19 Mbps down and 53 Mbps up
5.0 Ghz n: 28 Mbps down and 58 Mbps up
It also came to light that I wasn't using the best of the speedtest.net servers to do my testing, by accident I selected a different one (Newbury UK - Vodafone) to the one I had been using (Milton Keynes UK) and the Newbury server indicated download speeds of around 50 Mbps, which I feel much happier with.
Seriously considering a new Extreme for the simultaneous 'n' networks, 1000 Mbps ports and no doubt improved components, antenna etc.
Will report back if/when set up.
Thanks again.

  • 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.
    I am running 10.4.11 on my old MacBook Pro laptop, 10.5.something on my old desktop (MacMini).

    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.

  • I have a 1st generation AirPort Extreme and want to create a guest network, can I? If so, how? Can I do this by adding an Airport Express?

    I have a 1st generation AirPort Extreme and want to create a guest network, can I? If so, how? Can I do this by adding an Airport Express?

    I have a 1st generation AirPort Extreme and want to create a guest network, can I?
    This version of the AirPort Extreme does not have guest network capability.
    Can I do this by adding an Airport Express?
    Why not simply buy a new Airport Express.....which does have main and guest network capability*.....and sell the AirPort Extreme?
    * The AirPort Express will need to connect to a simple modem.....not a modem/router or gateway type of device.....for the guest network feature to work correctly.

  • Is Airport Extreme a Worthwhile Upgrade Over 1st Generation Airport Express?

    My two year old Airport Express still works fine.  WIFI seems good.  Wireless connection to Imac computer seems pretty fast.  Is it worth getting the Airport Extreme?  Will connection speeds increase or video streaming?

    If your AirPort Express is two years old, it is already a second generation Express. The first generation Express was 802.11g only, while one that is two years old is also capable of 5 GHz 802.11n.
    The newest one a/k/a the "dual band" AirPort Express has several attractive features besides its simultaneous dual band capability, but it is not likely that you will find any appreciable speed increase, and none at all if you are already using 5 GHz 802.11n channels exclusively.
    If you have a mixed network with both 2.4 and 5 GHz devices then a dual band base station would be an improvement. Either the Extreme or the new Express are capable of that.

    Load 5.6 utility into the computer.. it isn't hard.. here is one method.
    How to load 5.6 into later Lion & ML
    1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
    Leave the package open on the desktop so you can see the file. AirportUtility56.pkg
    2. Download and install unpkg.
    http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
    Run unpkg on the desktop.. If your Mac refuses to run the software, because it wasn’t downloaded from the Apple store, go to security in preferences and allow other software to work.. this is limitation of trade methinks. You can set back later if you like.
    Now drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. in finder, open the new directory, drill down.. applications, utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
    You cannot uninstall version 6 (now 6.3 if you updated) so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. although I have had no problems when doing so.
    When you use a real utility and not the toyworld v6 amazing things happen.. you can see everything but the very latest products.. and even those show up albeit with some errors.
    Use ethernet.. if you lose connection do not use wireless.. use ethernet.
    And factory reset.. do setups in full network isolation..
    If it is not dead it can be setup.

  • 1st generation airport extreme

    I was told that since I have one of the very early Airport Extreme base stations that the USB port in the back cannot be connected to a hard drive. Is this true? I want to put my iTunes music on a separate networked drive so I can share between all my computers and my Squeezebox Duet.

    FYI, the "snow" is the 802.11b dual Ethernet AirPort base station (ABS). It is not an 802.11b/g AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS).

  • 5th Generation Airport Extreme - Wifi Slow, dropping connections

    I just upgraded my 2nd generation Airport Extreme to a refurbished 5th generation I purchased from Apple.com
    I duplicated the configuration of the old one, as I have a static IP address and what not from my ISP. Also, I have a few port mappings for outside access. Everything plugged in via ethernet, seems to be working without issue.
    Everything wireless, which is to say - a Roku, a desktop/all in one, 3 laptops, 4 smartphones, and a tablet are not working as expected. Oddly enough, they are slow to resolve. For example, going to www.yahoo.com took nearly 20 seconds to resolve. At first I thought it was a DNS service issu, and changed to another set of DNS servers (went from Level 3 to another provider, just to test)..... same thing. Also, computers would also go from connected to "limited connectivity".
    Network is a mixed bag Windows 7, 8, and OS X, same with phones, Windows Phone, iOS, and Android, tablet is webOS or something. Everything is at least 802.11 n compatible.
    In my Wireless Settings of Airport Utility I have this configured:
    Radio Mode: Automatic - manual 802.11a/n - 802.11b/g/n
    Radio Channel Selection - 149 5ghz and 1 2.4 ghz
    Security, wpa2
    Wireless Network Options: unchecked is 5ghz network name
    Multicast = low
    Country = USA
    Transmit power = 100%
    WPA group key timeout = 60 seconds
    I unchecked use wide channels, and create a closed network is not checked.
    Now, I have a older airport express (I think it's 3rd gen) that I use in a plug that borders my living room / kitchen to extend the network. Nothing peculiar is configured on that thing other than the default network extension settings.
    At the moment, it is unplugged, as I was using inSSIDer to make sure my network was configured to the right channels compared to what my neighbors were doing. Everyone else is on 6 or 12, and there are no 5ghz channels in range.
    Does anyone know what might be causing the horrific resolution times on my Macbook Pro... it's pretty awful, loading your average websites takes far more time over wifi than over ethernet (also tested this).
    Really, nothing changed except some 'newer' hardware was added, the 5th gen airport. Any help is appreciated!

    Ok i have a relatively new Extreme and here is what i see on 5 GHz vs 2.4 GHz.

  • I have the 4th Generation Airport Extreme, is it time to upgrade?

    I'm currently using the 4th Generation Airport Extreme (Model A1354) and was wondering if it was time to upgrade, especially with the new 6th(?) generation being relased June 12th?
    I know this maybe a simple question but any help would be appreciated!
    Cheers,
    Andrew

    In order to take advantage of the new 802.11ac performance on the new AirPort Extreme, you will have to buy one or more new MacBook Air laptops.
    That is the only computer offered by Apple that can utilize the 802.11ac capabilities of the new AirPort Extreme.
    Apple indicates that new Mac Book Pros with 802.11ac capability will be introduced at a later time.
    You will receive no real performance benefit with the new AirPort Extreme using your current wireless devices. The only exception might be a bit better signal reception with the new "tower" antenna design.
    The bottom line for most users.....unless you plan to add new 802.11ac computer hardware in the near future, there is probably no reason to buy a new 802.11ac router now.....unless you really like the styling.
    Curiously, the new AirPort Extrme still uses older 2.0 USB technology, while a number of other manufacturers offer faster 3.0 USB products.

  • 6th Generation Airport Extreme Freezing During Time Machine Backups using LaCie 1TB Hard Drive

    I recently upgraded from a 4th generation Airport Extreme (short, dual band n) to a new 6th generation Airport Extreme (tall, dual-band ac) in the hopes of having quicker backups and better WiFi performance (I also just got a 13" retina MacBook Pro).
    The upgrade has gone poorly, to say the least. Initially, I set up the new Airport Extreme as I had for the old one. Then I plugged in the same hard drive I was using (a LaCie 1 TB d2 Quadra USB2 drive that I bought in June of 2009). I decided to setup my wife's Time Machine backup first (she has a 2010 MacBook Air). I removed the "old" disk (the one associated with the old base station) from her Time Machine configuration, and set up her Time Machine configuration to backup to the same disk on the new Airport Extreme. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it picked up her existing Time Machine backup and incrementally synchronized to it (the backup size was about 300 MB). A few days later, she warned me that Time Machine told her that backups were not working. When I went to look, it was indeed failing.
    I tried a few things that didn't work, and I suspected that maybe the backup "transfer" hadn't gone so smoothly as it seemed, so I decided to erase the drive using Disk Utility and start the backup over again. To my disappointment, I found that the backup got about 200MB-1.5GB into the backup and "froze." I left it overnight, and it was at exactly the same place the next morning. The light on the disk connected to the Airport Extreme flashed constantly all the time, and I could hear it spinning, but nothing happened at all.
    When I tried to stop the backup, it took a very long time. In the logs, I would see a message like this (this log is from my machine, not my wife's, but it looks the same):
    11/19/13 9:40:59.276 PM com.apple.backupd[93334]: Forcing deep traversal on source: "***-mpbr" (device: /dev/disk0s2 mount: '/' fsUUID: 7356274E-D28F-3BC0-9CA8-7F1AA21830B4 eventDBUUID: 99941F9A-AD5F-4FAF-94D2-701C94CA9581)

    Looking at the Airport Extreme in Finder, I saw that it got stuck, either "Connected as" me, or "Connecting...". The Airport Extreme wouldn't respond to the "Disconnect" or "Connect As..." buttons (depending on the context), and the eject button for the Airport Extreme itself in the sidebar was also unresponsive. Eventually, after 2+ minutes, I got a dialog saying "Couldn't connect to [my base station name]" with instructions to "check its IP" and contact my system administrator if the problem persists. During this time, Finder can seem frozen and unstable.
    Through all of the above, the hard disk kept spinning and the light flashed constantly. The drive was warm to the touch in the morning.
    I also found that when all this happened, I was unable to connect to the Airport device using Airport Utility. I I couldn't administer it, but the Internet continued to work for all connected devices. Unplugging the disk and plugging it back in worked immediately to bring the system back to a working state. I didn;t even have to power-cycle or reset the Airport Extreme.
    I tried a number of things to correct this behavior:
    Disabled Time Machine, removed disk, restarted machine, reconfigured Time Machine, and retried.
    Tried backup on my 13" Retina MacBook Pro and my wife's MacBook Air.
    I actually tried with TWO new 6th Generation Airport Extremes. The first one was a refurbished one. I returned it to Apple and purchased a brand new one. Both of them exhibited the behavior I described above.
    Workaround:
    Finally, I switched the drive out for a spare that I have (an older Western Digital MyBook and used it for a backup. This drive "Just worked."
    So, I have switched to that for backup for now, and re-purposed the LaCie as a drive that I use for making periodic images of my hard drive using SuperDuper. The drive seems to work perfectly (and worked perfectly for several years with older Airport Extreme base stations), so I can only assume there's a bug in the USB driver of the current 6th-generation Airport Extreme.
    I hope this helps someone else who's as confused as I was. If anyone has had a similar experience, I would very much like to read about it. I will be reporting this problem to apple right after I post this topic. Please do the same if you experience this issue.

    As Bob says, backing-up that way isn't supported.
    It's also unreliable. It may work for a while, but this forum, and the Time Machine forums, have many, many posts like this:
    *"I've been backing-up via an Airport Extreme for* <some number of days, weeks, or months> *and all of a sudden my backups are corrupted beyond repair."*
    In my case, it's happened about 4 times in a year. And that's with a desktop Mac, about 12 feet from the Airport, with the exact same hardware in exactly the same place and no interference.
    It is very convenient, especially with laptops. If you want to take the risk, see [Using Time Machine with an Airport Extreme Air Disk|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Airport.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
    But do yourself a LARGE favor and take the prominent advice to keep secondary backups, and update them frequently. Sooner or later, you're probably going to need them.

  • How to set up 6th Generation AirPort Extreme to cable modem as a wireless router and then connect my 3rd Generation Time Capsule to AirPort Extreme as a wireless extender?

    What is the best way to set up my 6th Generation AirPort Extreme (A1521) to my cable modem as a wireless router and then connect my 3rd Generation Time Capsule (A1355) to my AirPort Extreme as a wireless extender? I live in a small 1 story house and I currently have the Airport Extreme connected to my cable modem in the living room and the Time Capsule plugged into the wall in my bedroom. I am able to wirelessly connect to the internet using the AirPort Extreme as my router and I can also do wireless back ups to my Time Capsule. My problem is that my connection seems to be really slow! My 1TB Time Capsule back up is only half way complete and it has been 3 days! My computer has been backing up all day and night for almost 72 hours and its still not even 75% complete. I have backed up to this Time Capsule in the past and it never took this long. I am thinking that when I set up my AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule using AirPort Utility I must have set it up incorrectly or something.
    How do I set up my Airport Extreme and Time Capsule for the fastest possible internet speed and back up speed?
    Thank you,

    AirPort Utility 5.6 works with AirPort Extreme 802.11g base stations.
    It works with N version airports.
    It will also show details of the AC model but cannot be used for the setup.. mostly.
    I purposely got the new 6th Gen Airport Extreme so my internet connection would be a lot faster!
    Your network will be much faster when you have AC client directly connected to the AE. Older client will go no faster.. but what is worse.. extend wireless is mixing new and old wireless standards.. guess what one wins.. OLD.. So when you extend wireless.. you have no improvement whatsoever. This whole post is about extending wireless.. so you cannot extend to older equipment and do any better.. maybe slightly better signal although from your comments that isn't happening either.
    I would rather not have to use an ethernet at all with the TC and I don't know EOP adapters are!
    If you do not use ethernet then you are going to be forced to accept slow speed.
    EOP (ethernet over power). Also called homeplug in the US.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HomePlug
    Provides a method of networking over power cabling that already exists in your house.
    So what your saying is for the fastest internet speed and back up speed possible I should keep my Airport Extreme plugged into my Modem and keep my TC set up as a wireless extender? Then when I want to do back ups I should plug an ethernet cable from my TC to my MacBook Pro?
    To spell this out.
    A wireless link to an extended device will go very slowly.. if it is not direct.
    So lets say you have a laptop sitting in the lounge.. Your connection goes.. Laptop- - - - - AE- - - - -TC.
    That means two wireless links.. wireless has this nasty half duplex and single channel nature.. it can send or receive (Tx or Rx) but not at the same time.
    Ethernet by contrast does both at once. It is full duplex.
    Wireless can talk to one client at a time.. so if there are multiple items using wireless lets say 4 devices.. then your computer gets a 25% time slice. Since wireless cannot handle multiple simultaneous connections.
    Ethernet by contrast can connect multiple computers to multiple destinations at the same time.. all transmitting and receiving at full speed.
    When you put all this together.. there are a couple of rules for fast connection.
    1. Use ethernet at all times. Where you cannot use ethernet use anything but wireless.. eg EOP (homeplug) at least to try and get rid of wireless.
    2. Where you must use wireless use it sparingly and make sure it is never more than one hop.. ie never have an extend wireless (repeater is more usual term). Repeater will cause instant slowdown of 50% and maybe up to 75% just because it is so inefficient.
    3. Fastest wireless is 5ghz but it has very short range.. you need to be up close and personal to get it working.
    Apple routers however unless you do manual setup I suggest are set to connect to best signal strength not best speed. It will therefore use 2.4ghz at 25% less speed than 5ghz because it is 1db better signal.. this madness means you need to setup manually for the best setup.

  • Can I use a second generation Airport Extreme to extend my Time Capsule network?

    I have a second generation Airport Extreme (circa 2009?) and am thinking of buying a Time Capsule. Can I use the Extreme to extend my network?

    Yes. Note; however, you won't be able to extend the 802.11ac mode of the new Time Capsule. Also be aware that the 2nd generation Extreme did not provide for simultaneous dual-band operation. That would mean that you will only be able to extend either the 2.4 or 5 GHz band, not both at the same time.
    ... so it can work in a limited fashion.

  • What is the ip port number for a 1st generation airport express

    I have recently upgraded my home wireless router from a Linksys EA2700 to a EA6500.  The EA2700 worked fine with my 1st generation Airport Express.  Since I have mavericks on my laptop (Airport Utility 6.x is incompatible with Airport Express/b/g) I used Airport Utility 5.6.1 on my Windows 7 laptop.  When I goto select my home wireless network in the APU drop down menu to select a network, my home wireless network never shows.
    Linksys says it might be a problem with port forwarding and they need to know the ip port number of  1st Generation Appler Express.

  • I can't access my 1st generation airport express devices using airport utility

    I have a new Motorola Surfboard Extreme wireless cable modem & router set-up on my main internet cable line. To it i've connected 1st generation airport express using an ethernet and extended it with another 1st generation airport express so i can connect to itunes and a remote printer.  When I go to Aiport Utility to perform the set-up, i'm told i need to update to version 5.6.  When installing Aiport Utility 5.6 I receive an error prior to completion which prevents me from performing the set-up or even seeing the two airport express devices in the program.  Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

    By "1st generation" AirPort Express are you referring to the 802.11g or 802.11n model? Version 5.6 of the AirPort Utility would be required to administer the older 802.11g Express.
    If you do have an 802.11g model, are you actually running OS X 10.7.5 on your Mac?
