Where is the spec for the latest Extreme Base Station?

I couldn't fin a complete spec for the latest Airport Extreme Base Station.   Where is it?    What size (L,W,H) is the latest base station?

Thanks.   I noticed you found it under the Mac tab. . Odd - When you go to the Store and select Airport Extreme Base Station under Mac Accessories, the Extreme Base Station page doesn't have a link to the Tech Specs. When you're on the Mac tab and select the base station, it brings up a more complete page.
When I searched for the spec under Support, the newest spec I found was the March 2009 base station.
Thanks again.

  • I have a MacBook ProDo I have to have the Airport Extreme Base Station for my Airport Express to work?

    I cannot get the darn Airport Express to work!  It just keeps blinking Amber.  I know it must be something silly I am over looking.  And I do not have the Airport Extreme Base Station.
    Thank you for any help!!!

    Thanks,
    This is the rear of your modem/router:
    Connect a Cat5e or Cat6 cable from any of the 4 Ethernet Lan ports to the (single) socket on the Express, then go to Airport Utility (Applications>Utilities>Airport Utility) and select create a new network.
    You will need to turn the wireless transmiter in the Netgear off, here is a link to the Netgear Manual in case you need to refer to it.

    After a recent iTunes update attempt iTunes no longer functions and the airport extreme base station is not accessable on our computer.  We still have wifi but cannot access the base station software.

    Thanks for the reply. I appreciate the response. I tried that approach this evening and it didn't work for me. (Technically it worked for me, when I was hardwired into my base station, but would not work for me wirelessly, which is my main issue.)
    Again, using the approach you recommended works only if I have my ethernet cable attached to the LAN port so my computer is communicating directly to the base station through the hard wire. I am able to scan for my base station and make setting adjustments normally this way too.
    As soon as I disconnect from the LAN port and try to go wireless is where I run into problems. The Base Station's wireless network I created is available to choose in the top right corner of the monitor with all of the other available wireless devices/networks -- but the network I created does not have access to the internet. I am also unable to configure my Base Station wirelessly. When my Airport Utility tries to scan for the Base Station and Network, it cannot find any Apple Wireless Device. It's like the Wireless Network in my base station is not sending out a signal.
    Is there a way to resolve this issue?

  • Using the WAN port as a "LAN" port on the Airport Extreme Base Station...

    Hi everyone,
    I'm re-building my home wireless network and I'm doing so in preparation for the Slingbox AV I ordered last week. Here's my current setup:
    I have a DSL modem attached to an Airport Express (802.11n) in my office broadcasting my internet signal. I have an Airport Extreme Base Station (802.11g) set up in my living room as a WDS extender. I currently use the base station in my living room to connect the DishNetwork ViP722 DVR to the internet and allow me to set recordings remotely on my iPhone when I'm away from home. I use the LAN port on the base station to do this, and now with the Slingbox on the way (should be here early next week), I'm wondering what I need to do to make an internet connection available for the Slingbox AV.
    My question: Will I be able to simply use the WAN port as a "LAN" port since the Airport Extreme Base Station is being used as a WDS? It'd be awesome if the WAN port would become, essentially, a LAN port since it isn't being used.
    Thanks in advance for your advice and insight!

    I'd be surprised if that worked. The operation of an AirPort base station depends on keeping the WAN port and the LAN port(s) separate, as those normally are on two different networks.
    You might consider buying an Ethernet hub or switch, which would allow your AirPort Extreme's LAN port to be shared. Here's an example of an inexpensive one:

  • Can the AirPort Extreme Base Station be plug-in to the power forever?

    Hi,
    sorry for my english but this is my question: Can the AirPort Extreme Base Station be plug-in to the power (electricity) forever? I mean, I don't have to un-plug the Base Station sometimes? Thanks

    Sounds more like an issue with your router and
    network than a problem with AEBS.
    Which router?
    I certainly do not need to reboot my AEBS like that,
    I think I have rebooted it once in two years!
    I would start a new thread describing your network in
    more detail and the issues with the AEBS.
    Thank you, but my diagnosis is the result of many days
    of experiment with about hundreds of users. It's a bug,
    I know were it is. It was reported to Apple in september
    (2005).
    It isn't that easy to upgrade at the same time all the
    wireless (802.11b and 802.11g) that do have to interoperate
    smoothly within the same space.
    I don't think anyone need to waste more time on these
    bugged firmware versions (5.6 & 5.7) as I already explained
    it. They work smoothly just in a limited environment
    which they were conceived for: one Mac connected to one
    AEBS connected to one FAI.
    You can't recommand these version to colleagues who have
    to live in a real world with other wireless equipment
    (a Mac not updated, an ABS not updated,
    a Cisco wireless card emitting to 100 mW and smashing all
    the neibourhood, a pre 802.11g+ card using 2 channels at
    the same time...).

  • Does firmware update 7.1 break the Airport Extreme Base Station?

    Does firmware update 7.1 break the Airport Extreme Base Station?

    Do NOT install AirPort 802.11n Firmware 7.1
    This Firmware 7.1 update for AirPort Extreme Base Station with 802.11n should definitely NOT be installed.
    Here was my problem:
    I used AirPort Utility 5.1 to install the update. It is automatic - launch the utility and it asks if you want to install the update. I said yes because I had problems getting two AirPort n base stations networking together to extend my range (I gave up finally and just used an AirPort Express to extend the range).
    After the firmware update, some sites would not load at all (www.nytimes.com) and others took forever to load. And worse, I could not send any email from any of my IMAP accounts. It seemed to be a DNS problem.
    I have two 802.11n AirPorts, so I finally went back to the other one (7.0) and everything worked fine. The Apple tech support guy offered to replace my broken (7.1) AirPort.
    Foolishly, I wanted to make sure the problem was actually with the 7.1 update and not the AirPort itself. So I updated my second 802.11n base station with 7.1. And it casued the exact same problem (some sites not loading, no outgoing email).
    The Apple tech (at this point I was speaking with a wireless specialist) put me on hold to test a few of his AirPorts to see if he could revert back to firmware 7.0 or (ii) install a clean version of 7.1 (in case the version on my drive was corrupted).
    Unfotunately neither option was possible, which is a design flaw in AirPort Utility.
    Apple is sending me two new AirPorts in 1-2 days, which is great service, but I will not be installing firmware update 7.1 again. Fool me once...

    AirPort Extreme Base Station    

    Turns out that the firmware 7.1 does not render the AEBS useless.
    My problem was resolved when I turned off my DSL modem, the AEBS and the computer. Then restarted in same order going to the next one after the first is compeletly up and running. I had no problems whatsoever after that.
    Seems that the firmware update makes the IPs 'stick' somehow. I would think that even a reset of AEBS might have done it but I never got to that stage.
    All my computers came alive in no time.
    I suggest Smith tries this. Simply reset the whole network. Ah yes, my cable modem has an internal battery, I needed to disconnect this too. Only then did the modem go into the 'acquiring' or 'distribution' mode.

  • How can I set up the airport extreme base station with windows computer

    how can I set up the airport extreme base station with windows computer

    Hi - you need Airport Utility version 5.6.1 for Windows 7 - go to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1547  to download it to your computer - the setup depends on what kind of modem you have and if you have another router connected - post back with this info to proceed - thanks

  • Setting Up Comcast to Work with the AirPort Extreme Base Station

    I just set up Comcast high-speed internet through the cable modem and ethernet connection and it works fine. What I need is a step by step instruction on how to set up the connection through my AEBS. I've tried to configure using the Admin Utility, the AirPort Set-Up Assistant, the Network panel---all with no success. I'm not sure what to enter in the boxes or what to check. I've read the "Designing AirPort Networks" PDF and it wasn't much help.
    The AirPort Network was working fine with the dial-up connection I had before.

    Voila! NOT!!!
    I'm having the same problem trying to set up a friend's "new" Macs, and I cannot get them connected to the internet. I've also followed the same steps. I tried the resetting trick (unpluging, waiting, repluging the modem first, then the Airport Extreme Base Station.)
    The DSL ISP is SBCGlobal. Their dsl modem is SpeedStream 5100. The AirportEBS is the about 4 year old white base station with the phone jack, and a WAN and a LAN ethernet ports. I'm trying to connect two iBooks and a MacMini.
    Everything did fine for the past year with the modem in "regular" mode and only ONE Mac connected. When the new Macs were recently acquired, SBC techs said that the modem needed to be put into PPPoE mode so that multiple Macs could be connected at the same time. This was done. [The techs said in regular moden the modem does the authentication; in PPPoE mode the modem acts as a bridge and the AirportEBS is the router and provides the authentication. I am assuming the techs are coreect, but I don't know for sure.] The CAT5 ethernet cable from the modem goes into the WAN port on the AEBS. The computers all see the local wireless network set up by the AEBS.
    However, when any of the Macs try to connect to the internet, the error message returns "No PPPoE server available." Resetting the modem and base station has not cured this. [n.b. Bypassing the AEBS completely by connecting the CAT5 cable from the modem directly to the Mac will provide internet connection.] Any other ideas? Sounds like both of us are having the same sort of problem.

  • Importing Snow Configuration to the Airport Extreme Base station

    Is it possible to import the Snow's airport saved 'base config' and 'access control list' files to the Airport Extreme Base Station when setting up the extreme? I'm considering upgrading my wireless system. I have 4 XPs and 4 Macs and would prefer not to have to re-enter any of this data or loose any downtime reconfiguring all my computers.

    As far as I am aware this is not possible.
    However if you configure the Airport Extreme BEFORE you turn off the Snow the downtime should be minimal.
    From a security perspective, unless you have Macs running 10.2 or earlier and/or your PC wireless adapters don't support it, all you really need to do is implement WPA for a secure wireless network.
    Personally to avoid potential issues I would create a completely new wireless network with a new network name. Some clients have issues with joining a new wireless network with the same network name as a previous network, especially one with a password.

  • What's the most recent opinion about Time Machine backups to Hard Drives connected to the USB port on the Airport Extreme Base Station (5th generation)?

    I have been searching the Apple communities and Internet for a final answer.  I just bought an Airport Extreme Base Station (5th generation) and LaCie d2 quadra 1TB external drive as a replacement for TWO failed Time Capsules, neither of which Apple would replace due to failed power supplies.  I formatted the 1TB drive using Disk Utility (Mac OS extended (journaled)) from my MacBook Pro, and then plugged into the Airport Extreme Base Station USB port.  The Airport Extreme Base Station see the Hard Drive, and my MacBook Pro sees the Hard Drive in my finder under shared resources.  Time Machine, however, does not see the drive.  Is there a solution for this problem?  If Time Machine will not work, is there another software product out there that will work, like Carbon Copy.  Having to plug the backup drive into the USB port of your laptop every evening kind of defeats the purpose of having a laptop.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Keeping in mind that this is not supported by Apple, I have been successful at doing the following:
    1) Format the entire drive (1 Partition) as Mac Extended (Journaled). You must click in Options and set it as a GUID Partition Table (first option)
    2) Plug drive via USB to AEBS
    3) Using Airport Utility, use Manual Setup, then under Disks, select the new Disk and click File Sharing, then Enable File Sharing and Secured Shared Disks (recommended, of course). Other settings are up to you.
    4) IMPORTANT: you will NOT see this Disk in Time Machine until you open Finder and double-click on it. You will not need to do this again (hopefully).
    5) Now it should appear in Time Machine. Remember to exclude any large files like Virtual Machines, since they will be re-backed-up (is that a word?) every time it changes in any way.
    6) Remember that the first backup (over WiFi) is the longest. Leave the computer alone during this period.
    Good luck, and let us all know how it went for you!

  • Are there any faster wireless routers compared to the Apple Extreme Base Station?

    Are there any faster wireless routers compared to the Apple Extreme Base Station?

    The speed of wireless is limited by the technology. If you are using 802.11n wireless at 5 GHz, and assuming you have a strong connection, the speed will approach the 270-300 Mbps range. Other routers will achieve similar results if they have 5 GHz capability.
    As far an ethernet connection is concerned, the Gigabit ethernet ports on the AirPort Exteme will provide top performance, along with other routers that have Gigabit etherent ports.

  • I told my wireless network to forget two airport expresses so that I could rename them.  Now the network does not see them even when plugged in about 10 feet away from the airport extreme base station.  Does "forget" mean forever?  How to reset?

    I told my wireless network to forget two airport expresses 1 1st gen, 1 2nd gen so that I could rename them.  Now the network does not see them even when plugged in about 10 feet away from the airport extreme base station.  The network does recognize a totally new 2nd gen express.  Does "forget" mean forever?  How to reset?

    The network does recognize a totally new 2nd gen express.
    Then, it sounds like you have already reset the 2nd Gen Express, and now you need to set it up again, like you did the first time. Only, this time, assign the device name that you want to the AirPort Express.
    Do NOT use the name that Apple suggests.....which will be something goofy like........Sueswimsf's Red Apple AirPort Express
    Assign a simple name.....something like     2ndGenExpress

  • Dial-up with the latest AE base station

    A friend lives in an area of Maine with only dial-up service. He is wants to put his new MBP on an in-home wireless network. He currently is connected via a USB modem. Looking at the specs of the latest generation AE Base Station, dial-up seems not to be an option. Perhaps he could plug his USB modem into the AEBS, although I'm not sure this is an option. It seems his best option would be to get a refurbed previous generation AEBS w/modem-antenna. I know 802.11N wouldn't be an option with this set-up, but his source is only dial-up and therefore restricted. What is the best way to go?
    Thanks,

    The data on the new square AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) indicates that it will NOT support a USB modem for dial-up.

  • Can I use the Airport Extreme Base Station with my already existing D-Link router to increase signal strength?

    I already own a wireless router that I would like to keep. Could I use this Airport Extreme Base Station to improve that signal strangth to my room from the living room or to the basement? Would I have to hard-wire both the Base Station and my existing router? You probably have read this question more than once, and I have read some questions of this product too, but for some reason these Apple products I have some trouble with.

    Yes

  • RANT: Why is there no power button on the Airport Extreme Base Station?

    I know there is no solution to this until Apple updates the next generation of Airport Extrem Base Stations; hopefully they'll add a POWER BUTTON to it.
    I like to turn off my base station when I'm not at home and the only choice I have is to pull the plug out of the back. Why? Two reasons: cut down on my energy bill and SECURITY.
    Not that it really uses much energy, but I'm doing the environmental thing here. And my network is password protected, but I just feel more comfortable having it turned off when I'm not there.
    So, does anybody feel the same as me about this?

    Really an airport
    being tunred off for the time you dont use it isnt
    going to save the environment that much I am sure
    there are plenty of environmental accidents that ruin
    your hundreds of hours of energy use over the years
    in mere seconds.
    I'm not just thinking of myself when I speak of the environment and energy use. If everyone that has an Airport Network at home turned it off when they were not at home, I think it would make a significant difference. People need to think nore of their impact on the world instead of viewing just their one little piece of it.
    It's like the people who leave their desktop computers and monitors on all the time. Turn the friggin' things off if you're not there and if it's not performing any function. Those devices are just eating up energy.
