Useing surfboardsb6141 and airport extreme
I am having a problem with my printer epson cx6000 since I connected my surfboard SB6141 to my airport, It worked fine with my Time Warner modem
Your TW modem was probably also a router.. the SB6141 is a pure modem.. the Airport should change mode therefore from bridged to DHCP and NAT on the Network tab of the AE shown in the airport utility.
I strongly recommend when you make substantive changes to your network you also factory reset the AE and start over. The apple simply remembers too much from the old setup and messes up the settings even if correct with the new.

Wi-Fi Repeater using TimeCapsule and AirPort Extreme
Brain mush, help please.
We have:
Verizon Fios and the Verizon Fios modem router combo: ActionTec MI424-WR Rev F (Henceforth, AcTec)
A finicky, but abled TimeCapsule A1254 (TC)
And a new AirPort Extreme (AE)
They support:
Non-wireless Brother Inkjet (Bink)
Wireless Brother Inkjet (WBink)
Non-wireless HP Laser (Laser)
Non-wireless wide-format HP DesignJet (DJ)
2007 MacPro 17 (17")
2013 MacAir 13 (13")
2011 MiniMac (MM)
2013 Windows 8 Touchscreen PC (Piece-of-Crap)
3 iPhones, 4s, 5, 5s (4s, 5, 5s)
1 or 2 infrequent guest or back-up computers (GMac, GPC)
6 SSD externals for back-up and sharing (XSSDs)
Everything listed is proximated within 2 rooms except for the 5s, WBink, and 13" that are ~50' away and through 4 walls (2 are cement). Wi-Fi signal wise, the 5s rarely picks up, the WBink was so bad I just hardwired it to the 13", the 13" is frustratingly bad with continuely interuptions, stalls, and disconects.
All three routers are broadcasting seperate networks even though we primarily use the one from the TC, until it stalls, then I usually switch to the AcTec which only sometimes works better, if the 13"s airport even finds it that is, it is weaker. The AcTec is also more difficult to configure as it's not an Apple. The new AE was just hardwired into the AcTec in the hopes that it's range/frequency/speed would superceed the TC's. Unfortunately it's performing about the same for the 13" and 5s, maybe just a smidgen better.
Since we now use SSD for back-up I would like to repurpose the TC as a repeater for the 13" and 5s. How do I do this?
Please understand that I am not intentially unfmailiar with NAT, bridge, Pvpv0, DNS, Proxy, IDNS, TexCode, etc. I just have not been able to prioritize learning, not when Apple make me encounter it so infrequently. I am sorry I need it explained to me like I'm 4 years old. Thank you very much, I am grateful and really will appreciate some help.Brain mush, help please.

Internet trouble using Macbook and Airport extreme
I have a new Macbook and an older airport extreme base station. I'm trying to access the internet with a dial-up connection, however, after the base station dials the number it gets hung up on "connecting to your ISP" and I can't surf the net. I've contacted my ISP and they said that the connection is fine. I've tried everything that I can think of......please help...
JesseI set it up using the cd that came with it and 90% of the time it is unable to make connections to the internet.
Unless something has changed recently, I'm not aware that Linksys provides a CD setup for Macs. However, you can access the Linksys's setup via a web browser, like Safari.
My question is can I just buy a airport extreme base station and hook it up to her dsl and use it as a stand alone?
You certainly could and it would work just fine.
Does it need any other equipment other that the base station and a wireless macbook?
You will just need an Ethernet cable to connect the AEBS to the DSL modem. -
Using DVDs and Airport Extreme Disk
Hi,
I have all my photos stored on a Hard Drive connected to my Airport Extreme.
My wife has most of her photos stored on a collection of DVDs.
Both of us use our respective laptops to access either the Hard Drive over the Wi-fi or to load up individual DVDs.
Both of us have very limited space on our laptops (hence the DVDs and Hard Drive).
So I have a couple of questions:
Where is the best place to put the Aperture Library file? Locally on my laptop or on the Hard Drive? If I put it locally and take my laptop to a client (without access to my home network) how will/what will I see in Aperture. Guess I'm worried how big the Library file will work.
How does Aperture reference the DVDs? What happens when the DVD is not present in the machine for a particular image and I want to look at it.
I realise these may be elementary questions, but I would appreciate some help
Many thanks in advance

hi, stewart
are your photographs referenced?
I would imagine they are.
If I put it locally and take my laptop to a client (without access to my home network) how will/what will I see in Aperture. Guess I'm worried how big the Library file will work.

if photos are referenced aperture will show you previews but you will not be able to make adjustments but will be able to work on metadata.
what I do, I have a small (satellite) aperture library inside my mbp for clients for exactly the same reason as you.
when I do meet with the client, I take the client dvd (actually 2 dvds one is a backup in case the first dvd gets injured we can still work -- they are only a first rough, removed all duds like out of focus etc) of photos with me for the meeting. I pretty much only show their photographs in aperture's full screen mode to wow them and I also make a slideshow of the 5 star (the winners) photos to show to the client with music. if off sight (not in studio) I tend to make the meetings at or after sunset for mood.
the main aperture library is on a separate external 7200rpm, 32mb cache, 1tb, esata/fw800 hard drive which I double click to work on in my studio.
btw, you can put a hitachi sata 200gb, 7200rpm, 16mb cache, hard drive on your mbp for more storage to replace the one it came with if it is a smaller drive or slower drive.
as an option I have a small 2.5 inch hitachi fw800/esata 200gb, 7200rpm, 16mb cache, external hard drive that I use only for media (photos, video, music) that is very portable. it's in a small plastic case and has a heat sink and is powered via fw800 to mbp. you can store an aperture library there also and it's fast.

My home network has an Airport Extreme w/Time Capsule as the base and then an Airport Express and a second Airport Extreme to reach different areas of the house. Is there a way to use the second Airport Extreme for file storage on this network? Network is administered through an iMac running OS X Yosemite 10.10.2. Ideally, would like for the second Airport Extreme hard drive to appear on the list of devices in the Finder window.
Ok.. gottcha
The problem is network wise.. Yosemite is about equal to tin cans and string.. pathetic.
Here is my usual set of instructions to get anything working on Yosemite.
The best way to fix problems is a full factory reset of all the AE in the network.
Factory reset universal
Power off the AE.. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall.. wait 10sec.. hold in the reset button.. be gentle.. power on again still holding in reset.. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. Release the reset.. and wait a couple of min for the AE to reset and come back with factory settings. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. The reset is fairly fragile in these.. press it so you feel it just click and no more.. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. I use a toothpick as tool.
Then redo the setup from the computer with Yosemite.
1. Use very short names.. NOT APPLE RECOMMENDED names. No spaces and pure alphanumerics.
eg AEgen5 and AEwifi for basestation and wireless respectively.
Even better if the issue is more wireless use AE24ghz and AE5ghz with fixed channels as this also seems to help stop the nonsense.
2. Use all passwords that also comply but can be a bit longer. ie 8-20 characters mixed case and numbers.. no non-alphanumerics.
3. Ensure the AE always takes the same IP address.. this is not a problem for AE which is router.. it is a problem for AE which is bridged.. you will need to set static IP in the main router by dhcp reservations or use static IP in the AE which is tricky.
4. Check your share name on the computer is not changing.. make sure it also complies with the above.. short no spaces and pure alphanumeric..
5. Make sure IPv6 is set to link-local only in the computer. For example wireless open the network preferences, wireless and advanced / TCP/IP.. and fix the IPv6. to link-local only.
6. Now mount the disk of the second AE in finder... manually.
Use Go, Connect to Server and type in the AE ip address.
SMB://10.0.1.2
Where you will replace that address with the actual address. The network resource should be discovered and then it will request the password.. type that in and make sure you tick to save it in your keychain.
There is a lot more jiggery pokery you can try but the above is a good start.. if you find it still unreliable.. don't be surprised.
Do as much as you want of the above... not all of it is necessary.. only if you want it reliable.. or as reliable as Yosemite in its current incarnation can manage.
The most important thing is point 6.. mount the disk using direct IP address and not names.. dns in Yosemite is fatally flawed.

I have an 2tb time capsule 802.11n Wi-Fi base station can I use this as an external hard drive and use a new airport extreme 802.11ac Wi-Fi for my wifi?
You can use the 2 TB Time Capsule as a network drive. That means that it must connect to one of the Ethernet LAN <--> ports on the new AirPort Extreme, or connect to the network using wireless.

PC Used to work with XP and airport Extreme Basestation but not with Vista
Please help, my PC Used to work with XP and airport Extreme Basestation but not now with Vista. I have a MacBook Pro connected and also a Mac Pro connected to the network on it and they still work, i have put the latest software on the PC and the firmware is up to date. The only thing i can see on the network on the PC is the basestation Hard Disk (shared also to the Macs) but i cannot connect with the password, i have tried everything in my knowledge, including formatting the machine and reinsatlling OS and changing security setting to no avail. Any ideas anyone?

I've read where there are issues with the Nest and Airport Extreme (AE)? Is AE used in the Time Capsule?
If so, i already have a wi-fi router, so can the Time Capsule simply be used for wireless backup instead of as a router if there is conflict?A TC is fundamentally a AE with a sata chip included to drive the hard disk. Some slightly different bios to include disk functions, although most of those are also on the AE. So as a router it is 99.999% identical.
And yes, if you have another router you can easily bridge the TC and use wireless for backups and internet connection. Once you no longer route through the TC the issues with most NAT problems including port forwarding should disappear.. mostly this is due to all apple routers using NAT-PMP instead of upnp which is the near universal standard for opening ports.. without upnp apple keep their routers more exclusive. -
new help with my mac air and airport extreme time capsule dont know how to save to time capsule and use as a external hd would like 2 store my home videos and pictures on the time machine (ONLY) as the MAC AIR has storage space limited space please help. THANK YOU.
See the info here about sharing or using the TC for data.
Q3 http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html
It is extremely important you realise.. the Time Capsule was never designed for this.
It is a backup target for Time Machine.. that is the software on the computer that does backups.. it has no direct connection to the Time Capsule.
It has no ability to back itself up.. unlike all other NAS in the market. It is therefore likely one day you will lose all your files unless you seriously work out how to backup.
The TC is slow to spin up the hard disk and fast to spin down. iTunes and iPhoto will continually lose connection to their respective libraries.
iPhoto in particular is easy to corrupt when you move photos over wireless into the library.. once corrupted all is corrupt. A single photo will ruin it all.. so backup is utterly essential.
Time Machine cannot do backups of network drives. ie the TC. You will need a different backup software like CCC. You will then need another target to backup to.. -
What cables to use when connecting Airport Extreme and Windows XP?
I have a DSL modem and Airport Extreme. Right now I am getting Internet with the cable plugged into "Ethernet" and is connected to my computer. If I want to connect my Airport Extreme to my computer, where do I plug in everything?
Thank you for your help - I am a complete wireless newbie!Jgreene19
You don't seem to be making much sense, please can you clarify your network and your computer.
You have a DSL modem with an Ethernet port?
Do you have an Airport Extreme Base Station?
What computer do you want to connect by Airport, your iMac listed in your profile (or as this is an Airport for Windows forum) a Windows PC?
Does this Windows PC have a wireless card or not? -

Extending a network with Time Capsule and AirPort Extreme (via Belkin powerline)
Hello -
I've seen many topics about extending wireless networks here, but none seems to resolve the issue I'm having. I currently have a setup where a DSL cable modem is connected to a Time Capsule and I need to extend this network to another room using an AirPort Extreme.
I live in a very old apartment in Brazil and the walls seem to block the signal from one room to another, hence the need to extend it. Since wireless signal is very weak between rooms, I bought a Belkin powerline AV500 so I could connect both Time Capsule and AirPort using the electrical power at home (just installing a regular Ethernet cable between rooms is not an option).
I started with the basics: configure the Time Capsule + DSL as a standalone network, and it works perfectly within it's range. Then I connected the Belking powerline, plugged a MacBook via Ethernet on the other end and still got very good results (actually better speed than expected). Used it for a while with streaming and other network intensive tasks to make sure it could sustain the connection.
Finally, pluggned the AirPort Extreme on the Belking powerline and this is where the problems started. AirPort Utility 6.3.1 only gives me the option of extending a network wirelessly - it doesn't seem to give me the option of extending it via Etherenet (roaming), which is not good in my case. Luckly I had a copy of AirPort Utility 5.6 which seems to do the job (or I thought so), but it's still not working well.
Although I managed to configure both with the same name, it doesn't seem reliable and some devices (the iPhone 5, for example) are unable to connect and end up with a self-asigned IP address. I'm almost sure I'm doing something wrong on the setup, as I've seen a similar setup working before, so if anyone out there has any clue of what can be done, it will be much appreciated.
Attached the screenshots of both Time Capsule and AirPort Extreme configurations.
Thanks a lot,
-TM
AirPort Exteme:
Time Capsule:Hello JuliaApple. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
You have several ways to configure both base stations for what you are trying to do.
The simplest would be to configure the Time Capsule (TC) to "join" (AirPort Utility > Manual Setup > Wireless tab > Wireless Mode = Join a wireless network) your existing 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn). In this type of configuration the TC would perform as any other wireless client and not perform as a router. It will; however, still allow for both backups and sharing USB devices attached to it. -
External Hard Diver Fromatting Preventing use with USB Airport Extreme ?
I am putting together a network with my new MacBook and Airport Extreme and old XP Windows desktop and Seagate USB external hard dive. The drive is not recognized over the network from the Mac, butis available when the USB is plugged directly into the Mac. I called apple support and was told that this is because the Seagate drive is Windows NT formatted which is not recognized by the Airport Extreme, and that I will have to reformat the drive to a DOS or Mac format for this to work. I just want to see if anyone has any other ideas before reformating. Thanks.
If you ever plan to read the drive directly plugged into the PC, you'll need to format it FAT/FAT32. If you ever plan to use it for Time Machine it needs to be formatted HFS+. You can re-format later (data removed) if you wish.
