Using LAN Ports Of A Second Wi-Fi Connected Airport Extreme

I wish to set up 2 Airport Extremes one connected to the DSL router the other connected to the first via wi-fi-
BUT I also want to be able to use the LAN ports on the Airport Extree that is NOT connected to the DSL router in order to service devices tht only have a fixed LAN connection- Is this possible ???

Yes, assuming that you are using newer versions of the AirPort Extreme, the "remote" Extreme would be configured to "Extend a wireless network". The Ethernet ports are enabled when the device is configured this way.
Keep in mind that this will not be the same type of Ethernet connection that you would have it you connected to the "main" AirPort Extreme. The signal at the Ethernet port on the "remote" Extreme will only be as good as the quality of the wireless connection allows between the two AirPort Extremes.

  • How do I connect airport extreme to seagate hard drive using windows

    How do I connect airport extreme to seagate hard drive using windows?

    First the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) cannot share out an external HDD attached to its USB port unless it is formatted in either HFS+ or FAT16/32. It will not work if the HDD is formatted in either NTFS or ExFAT.
    If the HDD is formatted properly, when you access the AEBS with the AirPort Utility, does the HDD show up properly on the Disks tab of the utility?
    If it does, then you would access the HDD as any other network share, using the following format: //servername/sharename. In the case of the AirPort Disk (a HDD attached to the USB port of either an Extreme or Time Capsule), the "servername" would be the Extreme's Base Station Name, and the "sharename" would be the volumename of the HDD.

  • How to add a port for a IP cam in the airport extreme setting? thx!

    I has buy a IP cam, but I don't know how to add a port for a IP cam in the airport extreme setting? (I can see the IP cam in local, but not the internet.) Many Thanks!

  • Can't use my HP Deskjet F4580 Wireless Printer with the AirPort Extreme Base. The printer is NOT connected at the USB port of the AirPort Extreme, and is placed in another room. It worked just fine with my previous router (Linksys WRT54G). Help me!

    Hey Guys!
    I just got my AirPort Extreme Base, but I can't use my HP Deskjet F4580 wireless printer with it.
    The printer is not connected to the AirPort Extreme's USB port. It is placed in another room, and I'd like to use it (the printer) wirelessly (not connected to the USB port os the AirPort Extreme), as I used to. There is no place for the printer close the AirPort Extreme. It worked just fine with my previous wireless router (Linksys WRT54G). I'm very disappointed with the AirPort Extreme Base Station because of that!...
    Can you help me? Please?!
    Thanks Folks!

    This must be a tough one, no suggestions at all.

  • 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.

  • Does anyone else still have a problem using iVPN with OS X 10.8.3 and Airport Extreme?

    I am looking for help setting up iVPN. I am using my iMac, an airport extreme, and had recently purchased iVPN. I believe I input everything correct and port forward my Airport Extreme to 1732, but when the counter starts I cant access anything including email and internet. Does anyone know what the problem might be?

    I just verified that I have no issue with photobucket. I use exactly the same setup as yours except my Java security is enabled at the default level.
    Do you have the current version of the Java software installed: Java SE Runtime Environment 7 1.7.0_21. Just because you have the preference panel doesn't mean you have the runtime installed.

  • I have a current 2TB Time Capsule. I would like to add more ethernet ports for needed expansion. Will an Airport Extreme conflict with the Time Capsule for needed ethernet ports and will wireless from both units conflict?

    I own a current 2TB Time Capsule and I need to expand my network system to include more ethernet (wired) ports. I am considering an Airport Extreme that would give me enough wired ports. Will the wireless capabilities of both units conflict with each other? I only need one wireless network. Thank you for any help.

    While you could certainly add an AirPort Extreme to provide additional Ethernet ports, you could also save about $150 by purchasing an inexpensive switch, such as one of these:
    http://www.amazon.com/D-Link-DGS-1005G-5-Port-Gigabit-Desktop/dp/B003X7TRWE/
    http://www.amazon.com/TRENDnet-Unmanaged-GREENnet-Auto-Negotiation-Auto-MDIX/dp/ B001QUA6R0/
    Consumer grade Ethernet switches typically come in five and eight port configurations. Just be aware that a five port switch only conveys the ability to add three additional devices. An eight port switch conveys the ability to add six additional devices.
    An 8 port switch provides twice the capacity of a 5 port switch for considerably less than twice the cost. The price difference between the two is often only $10 or so.
    I just checked, the 8 port version of the Trendnet switch above costs exactly $4 more.
    An AirPort Extreme is a very flexible full featured wireless router, and would provide three additional LAN ports for wired devices. If all you need is a few more ports though, it's overkill.

  • How to connect a second computer to an airport extreme network

    how do I connect my macbook pro to an existing airport extreme network. The AE basestation is showing up on the macbook but when I click on it it tells me its not connected ??

    How can one determine if another person has leeched
    onto an Airport Extreme network? Is there a way to
    list users?
    Run Airport Utility, Manual Setup, Advanced button, Logs and statistics, Wireless Clients.
    ...just changed my password and now my internet
    connection is much, much faster...the wireless
    broadcasting strength was fine, but, web pages had
    recently slowed to a crawl...after changing the
    password download speeds returned to normal...could
    someone have been leeching on the network?
    Sure, if you made a more secure password, that is quite possible. Minimum recommendation is the following:
    1. use WPA
    2. use a password with no word from ANY dictionary
    3. use a password that is a combination of letters (upper and lowercase), numbers and special characters
    4. use a password at least 12 characters long.
    Better yet, use a "strong" password generator, such as the one at:

  • Can I use a Belkin F6D4050 wireless USB adapter with my Airport Extreme?

    I received a freebie Belkin wireless adapter a little while back. Am now trying to use it to connect a device to my existing Airport Extreme wireless home network. Am having some problems and wonder if it is my device (I think it should work with the device, though), or possibly with the Airport.
    I may already have my answer (...no?), but am a bit illiterate with wireless. My Airport is using WPA2, and is 802.11n. My adapter says it works with WPA2, but only lists 802.11g and 802.11b.
    Any thoughts are appreciated.

    I cannot say for sure if the g/b vs n is the cause, but if all other devices like the AE and that one device does not, you go with the odds.  Others will have to chime-in on that.
    And I recommend NetGear (not necessarily *above* LinkSys) because my 3-year-old NetGear router has been serving my MBP fine for 3 months ... no glitches.

  • How do I connect Airport Extreme and Time Capsule to my new iMac so that AE is used for network and TC only used for Time Machine backup?

    I didn't realize that Time Capsule will only support the print function of a wireless multifunction printer.  So I want to use Extreme for my network to have full use of my printer and use TC as the Time machine backup only.  How to I make the connections?

    Thanks for your response and this is getting complicated but I just purchased a new iMac as well as the Airport TC.  I've had the Airport Extreme for a year or so.  The Airport Extreme worked perfectly with my old iMac wirelessly and I had all functions of my printer with no problems.  I was expecting the same with the TC.  But the instruction that came with TC say to connect the printer to the TC via USB...which I did.  And the print function worked perfectly but nothing else.  In researching I discovered that when wired that way the TC only supports the print function...not scan or fax or anything else.  I tried going wireless since my AE worked perfectly via wireless but I got no printer functions at all that way.  But I'm wondering also if I tried that during a time I was having other issues...I had to delete and re-add my printer which solved some other problems.  I may try that again...and see if I can get all print functions with just the TC connected
    As far as connecting both your AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule on your network, we're not clear on exactly how you want to do this.  Will the AirPort Extreme connect to your modem using an Ethernet cable and the Time Capsule connect to the AirPort Extreme using an Ethernet cable?.......or......do you want the Time Capsule to connect to the network using wireless?
    Well... first of all I would like not to have to use the AE at all...I would prefer using just my TC for network, all print functions and Time Machine backup if that's possible. My printer will not accept Ethernet connections (Canon MX512).
    After failing at getting this to work, I decided I would try to use my AE for net and print functions and just use my TC for Time Machine backup.  I tried several different connection configurations with no success until finally I connected cable modem to my AE via Ethernet and went wireless with the AE and printer. but connected the AE to the TC via Ethernet and amazingly everything worked like a charm (for a while) and I was patting myself on the back for being so smart.  But now I find that the connection only lasts for a short time.  If I leave it for a while the TC goes invisible...or at least I see a message saying the Ethernet is unplugged...but it is not... and I lose internet connection even though I have a green light on my AE. So now I'm at a loss. I don't know why I keep losing network signal and why my system thinks the Ethernet is unplugged.
    So... after all this...I figured I wasn't so smart after all and I must have things wired incorrectly.
    So... it sounds like you are saying I should go back and try again to get my new TC to work as I want it to via wireless instead of connecting via USB...is that correct?  Could you tell me exactly how I should wire my equipment from cable modem to AE and/or TC to achieve net capability, full functions of my printer and Time Machine backup...
    Thanks...

  • How can I connect airport extremes using a wired-switch connection and have roaming capability?

    My goal is to have 2 airport extremes and 1 timecapule connected via an ethernet switch so that I can enable roaming. I have no problems connecting them wirelessly where I create the wireless network on a primary airport wireless then add the others "extending" the network. However, if I attempt to do the same thing with a wired connection everything stops working (no connections from any airport). Here's the topology I'm trying to achieve. I believe my problem relates to the switch and the fact that I am serving up DHCP from a separate server. Is there a way I can achieve this (or similar) type of configuration? Thanks in advance.
    BTW, I have read the various documents on the roaming network topology  but none seem to be a match to this.

    To answer your question, yes, if I _only_ have the main "create wireless network" airport connected/wired to the switch, everything works correctly.
    OK, got that.
    Also, if I have each of the 3 airports/timecapsule "create wireless network" using the same ssid name and passwd/protocol, everything works correctly (but of course, no roaming under this scenario
    Sorry, you have me confused on this one. When the AirPorts are all configured to "create a wireless network", use the same SSID, security and password, and all AirPorts are in Bridge Mode........that is the exact definition of a "roaming" network.
    Not sure what you mean when you say "no roaming" in this configuration.
    Also, if I have the main "create wireless network" configured and have the 2 other airports "extend the network" and _not_ have them connected via the ethernet cable, everything works correctly (wireless airport interconnection)
    That is correct.
    However, if I plug the 2 other "extend the network" airports into the switch via ethernet, all connectivity shuts down.
    This is not a correct setup. The "extend" setting on the AirPort assumes that they will connect using wireless.  If you then try to connect an Ethernet cable to an AirPort that is expecting a wireless connection, that will result in a big feedback loop and effectively crash the network.

  • Using Epson Workforce 40 with Snow Leopard and an AirPort Extreme

    Hi. Long night working on this but I figured something out, that might help others out there in the same/similar situation.
    I have an Epson Workforce 40, and an AirPort Extreme. I had previously set up the EPWF40 (Epson WorkForce 40) before I had installed Snow Leopard. After installing Snow Leopard, the printer would not work and would not be recognized by my MBP 15". The document would just hang and I would have to force quit the printer or delete the document.
    Bullet points on how I made it work:
    - the most important thing is to have the printer recognized by the router and have an IP address installed and registered first, then you can install the Epson Mac EasyPrint software and "find" the printer over your wireless network
    - Goto:
    http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supDetail.jsp?oid=108743&prodoid=6307 5463&BV_UseBVCookie=yes&infoType=Downloads&platform=Macintosh&x=28&y=3
    and download the Epson EasyPrint v3.10 file called: "epson12433.dmg"
    - Unfortunately, Epson does not make software to "install" the printer to the router for Snow Leopard
    - I re-installed the printer to the router using my wife's HP laptop and the original CD that came with the EPWF40.
    - Follow the instructions on the CD for the install for "First Time" setting up the printer.
    - After following the original instructions from the CD on her PC, the router assigned a new IP address to the printer, and the printer was "connected" to the router wirelessly
    - Then, on my MBP running Snow Leopard, I ran the dmg file downloaded earlier from the Epson website.
    - After running, go to the printer/fax preferences, click the "+" sign and add a new printer.
    - As long as you are connected wirelessly to the router, under default, your mac should "find" the Epson printer. It is called something like "EPSON5A2EAA". There should be at least one, if not two options.
    - One of the options should be "EPSON5A2EAA Bonjour" and the other "EPSON5A2EAA IP". Click on one, install it, and then go back and click on the other and install it (just to be sure).
    - You will not be able to use the standalone Epson Apps installed from the DMG, however, the printer preferences for the epson, will be available through the printer preference boxes when you go through the system preferences.
    It didn't make any sense at first for me either. Once I understood that:
    - you can't install the printer from a Mac to your router
    - after the printer is installed and linked with your router, your Mac can find it and use it
    ...I was able to complete the installation and have a fully functional wireless network printer.
    Feel free to drop me a question. I'm just glad I was able to make it work.

    Actually, you have.
    Rosetta was incorporated into both Tiger and Leopard. But it was invisible, of course. Snow Leopard is the first OS that offers the choice of whether to install it or not.
    Any suggestions on how I find the recent article or make my printer work with Snow Leopard?
    Don't know about the "recent article", but you can install Rosetta by inserting your Snow Leopard DVD and clicking on the Optional Installs package. When the configuration choice window comes up, just check Rosetta alone and carry on.
    Good luck with it!

  • What the **** is the USB port for on the back of the Airport Extreme?

    Over the year, I have plugged various printers and USB hubs into the back of my Airport Extreme, but nothing ever happens. Is it just there for looks?

    Simply plugging things in there won't make them work.
    For example, with any printer, you have to install it using Print & Scan in your System Preferences folder.
    With a hard drive, you have to make sure that it is formatted correctly and settings are correct in AirPort Utility.
    Please provide some specifics.....what device(s) you are trying to use....make and model numbers...and what troubleshooting steps you have already tried, etc.
