Unable to get Airport Express to extend Time Capsule via WDS

Hi all,
I have a Time Capsule that's a couple years old, and recently decided to try to extend its network given that we recently did a lot of re-arranging things in our home.  I followed the instructions posted here for using version 5.5.2 of the Airport Utility but I'm not having any luck...  I've triple-checked that the SSID, security settings, etc. are identical between the two devices.  I set the Time Capsule as the main WDS device and entered the airport ID of the Airport Express into it, and set the Airport Express as the remote WDS device and put the airport ID of the Time Capsule there.  As far as I can tell I've got all the settings correct.
What really confuses me is that I can get the two devices so that the Time Capsules status light is green but the Airport Extreme's status light is yellow.  The Time Capsule reports that WDS is functioning properly but the Airport Extreme is unable to connect to the WDS network.  I have the two devices only about 5 feet from each other so signal strength certainly shouldn't be an issue. 
Any ideas what's going on?
Thanks,
-Bruce

I would not use WDS unless your AEX is so old that is all it supports.  Much easier to configure the TC to allow the network to be extended under the Wireless tab.  Then configure the AEX's Wireless Mode to Extend Existing Network from the dropdown menu.

  • Should I buy airport express, extreme or time capsule?  I have my new Mac Pro. 2 iPhones, 2 iPads , and grandchildren who come with their devices.  I live in a two-level house.

    Should I buy airport express, extreme or time capsule?  I have my new Mac Pro. 2 iPhones, 2 iPads , and grandchildren who come with their devices.  I live in a two-level house.

    A Time Capsule is an AirPort Extreme with a built in hard drive to allow your Mac(s) to back up automatically, so it's a logical choice if you need a wireless router and back up capabilities for your Macs
    The AIrPort Extreme has a bit better antenna arrangement than an AirPort Express, so it would be a good choice for a two level house.
    Depending on the location of the "main" wireless router, you may find that you still need to add an extender or two in other parts of the house for full, fast wireless coverage. The AirPort Express is a good choice for this duty.

  • Using airport express to extend Time Warner cable modem wifi signal

    I just today got a Time Warner Cable Arris modem with built-in wifi.  I'd like to use my 802.11n Airport Express base station to extend the TWC network wifi signal to other parts of my house, but I can't get the Airport Express to shake hands with the TWC modem.
    In Airport Utility, under the "Wireless" tab, I've selected "Extend a wireless network".  I am able to select my TWC network under "Wireless Network Name." Wireless Security is set to "WPA2 Personal."  But when I click "update" the airport express fails to join the TWC network, and my Airport Express signal disappears; I am only able to get the signal back by resetting the Airport Base Station with a paperclip.
    Applecare tells me that I might be able to use the Airport Express to extend my TWC network, but they do not support that process.  Is there any way to do what I'm trying to do?  Are there settings in Airport Utility I need to change?  I'd appreciate anyone's help.
    Thank you.

    You need TWO Airport units, one to function as the main radio and the other to function as an extender.  I used two Express units.
    Configuration is simple if you start from a factory default condition.  Then connect the main Airport to AC power and finally to the Internet modem (or modem/router).  Open Airport Utility on your Mac or other computer and accept all of the recommendations.  After confirming that it works, insert your desired administrative and WiFi passwords.
    Then connect the extender to AC power.  As before, open Airport Express on your Mac or other computer and accept all of the recommendations.  No need to add password info.
    Do not expect the Airport to respond instantly to the configuration commands.  BE PATIENT!

  • Adding a 2nd Airport Express to extend the network using WDS

    I am a bit of a novice, but after I installed an airport express with my d-link wireless router to play itunes on my home stero, the music kept breaking up and stopping. I tried to change the channel, but it said mine was set on automatic and I cannot figure out how to change manually.
    So reading apple's suggestions, they said to get another aiport express and extend the network with WDS. I purchased my 2nd express today and have been trying to install it using the airport express assistant. I have had to reset the 2nd express and the original several times. However, what i keep running into is after it gets through all the steps, it asks me for a password for "this basestation". I have read several help topics and it looks like i need to use "public" for this new airport express. I get through that step and then it gives me an unknown error (-6753). Does anyone know what this is? Or is there a way to set-up the 2nd airport express manually? Do I even need a 2nd one? Should I just get an airport extreme? Will that extend the range of my wireless network? Any help is greatly appreciated. I have been at this for about 6 hours now. My wife is going to kill me.

    Will the manual for D-Link describe how to set up the
    first airport express as a roaming network
    No
    do that via the apple settings once its connected via
    ethernet cable?
    Yes
    Different channel.
    Same network name, same security.
    Ensure that distribute IP addresses (under Network) is unchecked.
    When this is done, will I still be able to play
    itunes through the first airport express?
    Yes
    Also, then once I do that with the first, then do I
    just do the regular set-up for the second as a
    network extender via the airport express assistant?
    Yes

  • How can I Connecticut two Airport Express with One Time Capsula?

    Only by Wifi or by LAN in a row?

    What are you trying to accomplish with the AirPort Express devices?
    Where will the Express devices be located in relation to the Time Capsule?
    If you are planning to use the Express devices to "extend" the wireless range of your network, Ethernet LAN will always provide far better performance than trying to connect the Express devices using wireless only.
    You have the option of connecting both AirPort Express devices directly back to two LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule....or....connecting one Express back to the Time Capsule and then connecting the second Express to the first Express using Ethernet.  This assumes that you have a "new" Express with both WAN and LAN ports.
    If you choose wireless only, both Express devices will connect back directly to the Time Capsule, so both of them should be located where they can receive a strong signal from the Time Capsule wireless.
    A "hybrid" approach can also work. Connect one Express to the Time Capsule using an Ethernet cable and then setup the second Express to connect to the first Express using wireless only.

  • Pros & cons of Extreme/Express to extend Time Capsule?

    We currently have Time Capsule running for wireless coverage at one end of our house, and want to extend coverage to the far end. From what I can tell, it seems that we could use either Airport Express or Extreme to extend coverage (correct me if I'm wrong here). It may come down to the availability of Guest password/login. Question: If we have Guest access set up on Time Capsule, will that automatically carry over to the far end of the house regardless of whether we use Express or Extreme? Or will we need to use Extreme in order to extend Guest access?

    Welcome to the discussions!

    Either an AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme can "extend a wireless network" providing that it is a newer "n" version of the product.
    It sounds like you have a dual band Time Capsule, correct?
    Important....if you want to extend both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, you would need to look at a dual band AirPort Extreme. The AirPort Express could extend one band, either the 2.4 GHz band or the 5 GHz band, but not both at once.
    Unfortunately, it is not possible to extend the Guest network, so this network will not "carry over". "Guests" will have to connect directly to the Time Capsule if you enable the guest network. Their wireless performance will depend on how far and how many obstructions there are between the Time Capsule and their computer.

  • Connecting Airport Extreme N to Time Capsule via ethernet to extend wireles

    Hi, I currently have 2 Airport Extreme N and a Time capsule and would like to connect all three together. I am planning to use the time Capsule as the router and then use the other airport extreme to extend the wireless network. I am planning to have ethernet connection between the three devices ie Airport extreme N (A) is connected to time capsule via ethernet and airport extreme N (B) is connected to time capsule via another ethernet.
    I have tried the Extend Wireless network option to connect them, but that seems to generate so much traffic between the airport extreme N and the time capsule that the network is not usable. I have also tried using WDS but that didn't seem to work.
    The three wireless networks have some areas of overlap but the signal is weak which is why i prefer to link them up with ethernet.
    What is the best wall to configure them? should I set them up so that they're each creating a wireless network but with the same name? Or is there a better solution? Thanks!

    It seems to me the easiest way is to have the Airport Extreme connect to internet using Ethernet, using DHCP and the Connection sharing in off (bridge mode) and then create a new wireless network with the same name... Is that correct? I have previously ran the apple wizard and it did something weird with the network and then both the time capsule and the airport extreme are serving out IP address and both of them have the same IP address 10.0.1.1. which then messes up everything...
    Any ideas? thanks!

  • Replacing Airport Express '08 w Time Capsule 11?

    How much stronger and faster a signal would the 2011 Time Caspule be over an Airport Express purchased in late 2008? The time capsule clearly offers the convenience of daily data back up. However I fear having to reconnect all my wireless devices to the new network.  Some of them are very tempermental and might cause hours of pain before cooperating.
    Can anyone provide an opinion based on their own upgrade experience?  And I live in a small NYC apartment, so there really is no need for more than one to be connected to wi-fi.
    Thanks.

    Unless you are also updating all of your wireless clients, just upgrading from the older Express to the Time Capsule may not necessarily show a lot of improvement.
    However, the overall bandwidth should be better as the TC uses a 3-stream antenna design over that used in the Express which would provide a higher maximum bandwidth for your wireless clients that can take advantage of it.

  • How do I extend my wifi using Airport express with my time capsul?

    I want to extend my wifi from my time capsul.  Can I do this with airport express?  I have my wifi with cable so would I need to get another modem and hook the express to that?  Would that help?  I want to keep the same network and not add another.

    You need to pay attention to something, while extending your network with the latest AirPort Express upgrade, your devices will be connected to it except your iPhone, you'll see your iPhone always connected to the capsule instead, even if you're at 1 foot from the AirPort Express.
    You need to change the radio settings from automatic to 802.11a - 802.11b/g on your capsule, then I put it back to the default settings...
    Now in the AirPort utility you should see your iPhone connected to the AirPort

  • The internet coming from my AirPort Extreme, which is extended by an AirPort Express and my Time Capsule, is being very flaky. It is dropping and I have to reconnect every few minutes. Any solutions?

    To be more detailed, my AirPort Extreme needs to be extended by an AirPort Express, which then is extended to my personal Time Capsule. The internet drops on my MacBook Pro and other MacBook Pros randomly. We then reconnect with no problem and go on with what we were doing. The internet is fine. Always able to connect. We have Open DNS set up as well. But the flaky internet is annoying. Any ideas how to fix this?

    The primary issue that you will need to contend with is the distance between routers. 300' would be at the fringe of the signal coming from the base station located in the house which, most likely, make it too "weak" to extend/repeat with the second base station at the shop.
    There is a method to configure a relay base station between them in a Wireless Distribution System (WDS), but a WDS has two major drawbacks: 1) It can only operate in the 802.11g Radio Mode, and 2) For every base station participating in the WDS, the overall bandwidth will be cut in half .., so with a total of three (main, relay, & remote), the maximum of 54 Mbps (for 802.11g) would be more like 15-17 Mbps. If you plan on streaming HD video (either 720p or 1080p), your local wireless network may not have enough bandwidth to do so successfully.
    You proposal to run the DSL line to the shop does offer another option. Instead of running a DSL line, run an Ethernet cable between the house and the shop. You would connect one end to any of the available LAN ports on the AirPort Extreme to the Ethernet port on the AirPort Express. You can then configure both base stations into a roaming network and not have bandwidth loss of the WDS.

  • Setting up an Airport Express with a Time Capsule

    Merry Christmas! I received a new Airport Express for Christmas. My intention is to use it to stream music to my stereo. I have to admit that setting the AE up was not as simple as I had hoped it would be. I do have it working but I would like someone with more experience in this area to validate what I have done.
    My wife and I each have MacBooks and we have a Time Capsule as our base station in the den. I would like to use the AE to stream music to my stereo which is in the living room. I would also like the AE to act as a "booster" to my TC, which I think is called "Extending a wireless network".
    Here are my questions concerning the settings I have used in Airport Utility:
    In TC, under AirPort, and the Wireless tab, I have checked the box for "Allow this network to be extended". Is that necessary?
    In AE, under Airport, and the Wireless tab, there are a number of choices in the pulldown for Wireless Mode. I know I do not want to "create a wireless network" since that is what my TC is for. But all three other choices seem valid for what I want to accomplish -- Participate in a WDS network, Join a wireless network, or Extend a wireless network. I chose Extend a wireless network. I also checked the box under Network Name that says, "Allow wireless clients". Are these settings correct?
    Here's the problem I'm having with things set up as I described above. AirTunes works fine. But if we close either of the MacBooks (put them to sleep) and open them in the living room which is closer to the AE, we seem to lose internet connectivity. When we open a browser or click on a link, it starts to load but then freezes. If I then walk the MacBook into the den, closer to the TC and restart the Airport or put it to sleep and wake it, its fine. Also, if we work long enough in the living room closer to the AE, it will also loose connectivity. I can sit in the den near the TC without any dropping.
    Any suggestions on what the proper Airport Utility settings should be for my TC and AE would be greatly appreciated.

    Your biggest mistake is confusing signal strength with signal quality. The signal indicator indicates strength and nothing else. You need to be using iStumblr to look at SNR (Signal to noise ratio).

  • Replacing an Airport Express with a Time Capsule but it won't connect to the internet.

    Hello, I hope somebody can help.
    I am trying to replace an Airport Express with a 2TB Time Capsule but it won't connect to the internet, via an ADSL modem.
    I have tried everything I can think of, powering down all devices, re-setting all devices, but nothing seems to solve the problem.
    When I first tried to set up the Time Capsule, there was an option to replace the Airport Express using the same settings.
    But there were repeated error messages of 'No DNS Servers' and 'PPPoE server couldn't be found'.
    I also had messages that the password for PPPoE wasn't correct, but when I plug the Airport Express back in again, everything works fine.
    What could the problem be?

    99% of issues with authentication are wrong password or wrong username.. eg it can be strange like the user name is missing the domain.. whereas the Airport Express works fine without it.
    Ring your ISP and make doubly sure you have exactly the correct username and password.
    If it still doesn't work, put the adsl modem back into router mode and try it again directly on the modem.. if it works ok on the modem but fails on the TC that is possible and can be caused by pppoe client using incorrect authentication type, CHAP or PAP which the TC does not allow you to select AFAIK.. some ISP do not give enough time to get the router to switch on auto to the correct authentication method.
    In the end run the modem as router and bridge the TC. It will work just as well for most installations in bridge as the modem in bridge.

  • Airport express, guest wifi, time capsule all muddled up - Looking for Bob Timmons!

    My operatign system is OS X 10.9.1
    Airport Express Time capsule 1 TB
    I have had my airport express time capsule for 2 years (1 TB)and it worked pretty near flawlessly since then.  It started with the time capsule being too full and that got me messsing with it.
    I could not fugure out how to delete files from the time capsule and it was not writing over old ones.  I have seen the same problem on here already. (In the end I bought an external drive and now that seems to have solved it and is scurrently bqcking up to the exteranl, even though I deleted a bunch of old files and my computer is now hovering around 830 MB it still won't back up to time capsule a stime capsule states it is hovering around 965 MB .  If you can help me on this part that is great.   )
    Then I tried to reset my AE device.  WIth that I had to reset my network.  this is where the problems began.
    Previously my AE had a steady green light and hosted two wifi names (mine and for guests).
    Now if I click not bridged (?) then I can not get Internet access on the guest network, i get the signal and it is there just no internet connection.  If I click DHC and Nat it constantly blinks amber but the guest network is  there and i have internet.  I have gone back and forth with this and it is consistently behaving like I described above.
    I have done a reset.  I have done a reset and unplugged the machine (though I admit I did not wait two minutes, closer to 45 seconds)
    I want to go back to the steady green light and the two wifis established as before.
    Also one  more thing to add.  My Server name has disappeared too.  I get an error message that says
    There was a problem connecting to the server "name"
    The server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time.  Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, then try again.
    Seems I did a great job messing with this today.
    Can you please help me?

    In its default state, the 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) will broadcast an unsecured wireless network. It does not need to be connected to another network or the Internet to operate this way. Wireless clients can then connect to this wireless network, but as you know, none will have access to the Internet. Both your Mac and iPhone should have no issues connecting to this network.

  • Airport Express (g version) & Time Capsule (n version) integration question

    I currently have an Airport Express (g version). When I add my new Time Capsule (with n), will my iMac Intel duo (with n), pick the wireless feed from the Time Capsule or the slower Airport Express? Is there some way to designate the Time Capsule? And in this mix, I have a 12" Powerbook.

    It's not the actual posted speeds that limit the speed of a network, but the technology with which the devices are connecting. So, an 802.11n network will be dragged down to 802.11g speeds if an 802.11g client joins. Whether or not this client is getting the full 54 Mbps out of the connection, other n clients joining the network will be at 802.11g speeds. They may be getting the full 54 Mbps even if the g client is getting, let's say, 48 Mbps out of his connection. This is because the 802.11n router has to go down to the lowest common denominator (802.11g) for all connected devices to work.
    As for your initial question, I'd highly suggest setting your Time Capsule to 802.11n only 5 GHz as the main router, and hardwire your Express having it set up as an 802.11b/g bridge for b/g devices. This means your n devices get n speeds and g devices don't slow things down. This is called a dual band setup, and each band will have it's own unique SSID, so n devices can't "accidentally" switch over to the b/g network, or vice versa.

  • Airport express hardwired to Time Capsule

    I just ran an ethernet from my TC to an out building where I plugged and Airport Express into the other end.  I can see the AE but can't get the settings right.  I've tried different approaches extend network, using same network and change the channel etc but with no success.  Any suggestions as most directions come at it from the wireless mode.
    Thanks, George

    George,
    If you have an Ethernet cable connecting from the TC to the AirPort Express (AX), the correct configuration for the AX is as follows:
    AirPort Utiliity - Manual Setup
    Base Station tab....enter the info required here
    Wireless tab:
    Wireless Mode = Create a wireless network
    Wireless Network Name = Same name as your TC wireless network
    No check mark needed next to Allow this network to be extended
    Radio Mode = 802.11n (802.11b/g compatible) a good option
    Channel = Automatic
    Wireless Security = Same setting as the TC network
    Wireless Password = Same password as the TC network
    Confirm Password
    Click the Internet icon
    Connect Using = Ethernet
    Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
    Update to save settings
    Restart the entire network
