Two AirPorts in the Same Network...

I am using an AirPort Extreme 802.11n and I want to add my OLD Airport Extreme 802.11b/g in another part of the house but I just cannot seem to get them to play together. I also have an AirPort Express currently working quite nicely within the AirPort Extreme 802.11n wireless network. It seems that I should be able to use both the base stations to extend the wireless and wireline services. I just do not see how.
I have looked exhaustively for a solution.
The goal is that one base station (802.11g/n) will have its ethernet port hooked up to a network printer -- wile the other will take on the network fax and disks.
Little Help...?

Hello cypherpunk. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
It sounds like you have already set up a WDS between the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) and the AirPort Express Base Station (AX). If that is the case, all you would want to do is add the 802.11b/g AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) as another remote base station in this WDS.

  • Use two interfaces on the same network

    Hello every one,
    I actually starting to work on a cisco project. I'm a beginner on networking and cisco technologie.
    For my project we use a router 2921.
    We got two network:
    - Network A: 192.198.0.X / 255.255.255.0 / Gateway 192.198.0.1
    - Network B: 162.168.0.X / 255.255.0.0 / Gateway 162.168.0.1
    Each network use switch, Switch A (connecting to network A) is connected to interface G0/0.
    And Switch B (connecting to network B) is connected to interface G0/1.
    Router well configured as:
    - G0/0: ip address 192.198.0.1 255.255.255.0 (network A)
    - G0/1: ip address 162.168.0.1 255.255.0.0 (network B)
    Every think working fine.
    The problem is with this one, we need to connect a computer on G0/2. This computer is configure as network A (192.198.0.10 / 255.255.255.0 and same gateway).
    I can't configure G0/2 as 192.198.0.1 255.255.255.0 (network A), cause G0/0 use this adresse.
    I can't put this computer on the switch A, my only physical possibilité is to connect him on G0/2.
    We just need to use interface G0/0 and G0/2 as a switch on the router with the same gateway (192.198.0.1)
    How can i connect this computeur? How can i configure two interfaces on the same network and same gateway?
    Thanks you

    I would just put the PC on a different network, but if you really want it to be in the same network, you could use IRB to connect two of the interfaces on the router at layer 2.
    Here is an example config for IRB:
    interface FastEthernet0/0
    bridge-group 1
    interface FastEthernet0/1
    bridge-group 1
    bridge irb
    interface BVI1
    ip address 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0
    bridge 1 route ip
    Notice that the physical ports do not have IP addresses on them, the IP for the subnet is on the BVI interface.

  • How can I connect two macs in the same network?

    Both are connected to the same network. One via ethernet and the other via Wifi (Airport Extreme). Both share the same Internet conection. I have followed instructions for files sharing. I can access only the computer linked to my home network via ethernet, but not the other way. It does not found the server address provided in file sharing by the computer conected via Wifi. Any clue? Can it be that the IP address of the Wifi conected is DCHP?

    Are you using Connect to Server or Shared sidebar in the Finder? What OS X versions do the two machines run?

  • Sharing two computers on the same network

    I have a mac mini and a mac air and wish to synch/share the entire Itunes with each other.  I have turned on home sharing but do not see the devices listed with each other.  They are both on the same network and can be seen by apple tv.

    The only way I know to share iTunes Libraries is to do what you said you did. Turn on Home Sharing for both devices. You will only see the device's Library (under Shared) in the Sidebar of iTunes. You won't see the actual device.
    For example I have an rMBP and a Mac Mini. Both have Home Sharing turned on in iTunes. From the Mac Mini, I see the rMBP's iTunes Library. From the rMBP, I see the Mac Mini's iTunes Library.

  • Stream music to two airports at the same time from my iPad2?

    I found out from the apple-website that its possible to stream music to two(or more) of the new updated Airports from a computer at the same time .. can i do it from my iPad2 also?  i want to build zones in my home and be able to use them one by one, or play music in several of them together at the same time.
    I,m currently using the Spotify-app from my iPad2 or iPhone3GS to my existing(old one) Airport Express, and need to know if i can bye more Airports?
    Thanks in advance

  • Mixing UK & US airports on the same network

    Hi,
    I have a UK-bought airport extreme, I also have a US-bought a time capsule, which I use to extend the network (and also as a wired etherenet hub for my wife's desktop as the airport signal doesn't quite get to her office).
    I often notice that devices have problems when both devices are on (most noticabley my PS3).  It slows the connection down massively and will cause connection breaks.  When I pull the power on the time capsule - happy days!
    Is this something I should expect and is there something I can do about it?  I'm hoping that the answer isn't buying a new time capsule or airport in the UK.
    Thanks for all you help!

    I think at some point in the past, I must have suspecte something like this, as when I go and look at the settings in the airport utililty, for both devices, the check-box nest to the 5GHz network is un-checked, which I assume means that there is no 5GHz band being broadcast - is that a correct assumption?
    This wiki article on allowed freq around the world for wifi is very helpful.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WLAN_channels
    Going back to your PS3 issue though, I doubt the PS3 will be using 5ghz.. and I would be very surprised if the TC are linking at 5ghz.
    It is really helpful to find out what is actually going on.
    What model is the Extreme? TC?
    If you are still on Mountain Lion as you have indicated, install the v5 airport utility.. it gives much more info about what is happening via the log area.. something totally devoid in the v6.
    I happen to have a US TC Gen4 and an AUS Extreme Gen5 in extend wireless.
    So discover the channel being used.. you can use the wireless diagnostics in the computer available via option and click on the wifi icon.
    But by joining the 5ghz wireless I can see it is using 149.
    Then v5 airport you can open both manual settings at once by double clicking the icon.
    On the Wireless Clients tab of the advanced. Log and Statistics area you can see exactly how the two TC are linked and speeds and loads of useful info.
    All gone in the v6 utility.
    Anyway.. the issue with the PS3 on wireless could simply be the usage being made by the computer or devices on the TC.. particularly if you are running a backup to it over the wireless link.. double hop wireless is not fast.. if the PS3 has swapped to using the TC it will then share the double hop wireless with all the other clients and simply be drowned out by the bandwidth consumption of the wife's computers or yours.
    Using a non wireless link would be the best solution.. EOP adapters are very popular in the UK and could work well but the best is to run ethernet and get rid of the problem permanently.

  • Using two e2000 on the same network

    I purchased two e2000s for my home network.  Since the routers do not work on both bands at the same time, I decided to set one up for 2.4Ghz and the other on 5Ghz.  I had to set them up separately but hooked up to the internet while setting them up (obvoiusly, since it cannot be done otherwise).
    I had everything set up like I wanted (primary e2000 is 192.168.1.1 with DHCP enabled, 2.4 Ghz and secondary e2000 is 192.168.1.2 DCHP disabled, 5Ghz, wired together) and each running a guest network.  I figured i'd have 2 guest networks, one for b,g,n and one for high-speed n. 
    Currently, everything works fine, except the secondary guest network did not come back up when I connected everything back together.  I think once I set the secondary router to 192.168.1.2, the guest network went away.  Of course, I cannot access the secondary router via the connect software since I changed the IP address manually, and I cannot try to reset the guest network.  Before I go back and work on my secondary router so I can get my second guest network back (yes it was working fine originally) is it possible to run the guest network if the base IP is not 192.168.1.1?  I'd rather not waste a few more hours if it is not possible.
    Thanks for any help.

    Correct. The guest network is a network for guests which you would like to have internet but not access your LAN. If you want them to access your LAN as well you give them your main network passphrase.
    Not using the internet port on the second E2000 is not in the user manual either. While possible, it's not really a fully officially supported setup. It's not in the user manual. It's not supported by the setup program. You'll only find it into the FAQ/KB.
    If you don't use the internet port there are a lot of features which don't work because they only affect traffic between the LAN and the internet port and vice versa, access restrictions, dyndns, etc.

  • Weird issue when trying to use two computers on the same network.

    Hi all...i just just moved house and i'm using a different connection with my time capsule.
    basically i've just plugged the modem into the ethernet port on the timecapsule as usual, and now for some reason me and my partner cannot use the computers to access the net at the same time
    my access will halt as soon as he starts, and the only way to gain access again is to renew the DHCP lease, which subsequently boots him off....
    anyone know how to fix this?

    it's a wireless modem. not like a usb stick with a 3g connection. it's called unwired here in australia....its crap, but im using it for the next few days until my cable connection is installed at the new house.
    it's pretty much the same as a regular modem and has an ethernet port on it which you can either use to connect directly into your system, or plug into a router or wifi (or in my case, time capsule which i'm using as the wireless base station)
    i've just done the usual thing of plugging the ethernet cable from the modem into my time capsule, and it seems to work fine as long as it's only one user on the network. but as soon as someone else jumps in, their system gets access and mine stops. the only way to get mine working again is to renew the DHCP lease in networking preferences, but that ends up booting the other person off.
    i havent changed any settings at all and we never had this issue at the old house...so i'm not sure if its some configuration with the time capsule, or if it's something weird about the dodgy modem i'm using...

  • Can there be two Admins on the same network?

    A quick question:
    Our plant has a network that stretches across the US,
    and currently all our Macs ( 40+) are on it.
    I am the admin for one region ( 30 or so macs),
    and we are looking
    to setup another admin in another region (10 or more macs).
    We have one seat of RD on my machine running now.
    if we buy a second, will there be any conflicts?
    Any issues?

    You can have multiple seats of the ARD admin application running simultaneously without problems, particularly if you plan to split the workstations into multiple groups as you indicate. Though I've not had more than one admin running at the same time a lot, I've never encountered any issues when doing so.

  • I would like to know how to selectively merge bookmarks on two machines on the same network please

    Over time, my desktop and notebook computer bookmarks have diverged. I would like to be able to merge them so they are both the same again, choosing entries from each machine as appropriate. With IE I used to use a directory/file comparison tool, but I undertand FF uses a database and haven't found out how to do it.

  • Can I have two time capsules on the same network

    Is it possible to have two TC on the same network, I have a 500Gb 1st Gen TC which I have replaced with a 2TB 4th Gen TC but still want to use the 500Gb. Is this possible and how do you set up?
    Thanks

    How do you want to use the old one? Is it simply for storing random files? I assume random files right that you wish to access/store/delete/share? If thats the case, just plug it in without connecting to anything.
    You simply would connect to it this way - "Finder/Go/Connect to Server/10.0.1.1
    You'll need to click the "+" sign after you enter that addy. Or better yet, go into the airport utilty for that device and assign it a special ip addy. That will make it easy to identify. Then follow those same steps. Viola, you will see the device in your finder and access it just like a portable drive but on a network instead.

  • Can you setup handoff to work with two mac computers on the same network?

    I am attempting to setup handoff to work with two computers on the same network. I cannot seem to get it to work. Should I be able to?

    I'm not sure but I haven't seen anything on the Apple site that indicates that it would not work. The following troubleshooting documents may help: Get help using Continuity with iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite - Apple Support
    Note in particular the Mac models supported. The other thing that occurs to me is that in addition to being on the same network they would have to be within Bluetooth range of each other.
