Which drives can power off on Airport Extreme?

Is there a list of external drives that are verified to be able to power down when used with airport extreme.

What do you mean? The AEBSn will NOT power down ANY USB disk connected to it. That is the expected behavior.
If a disk goes to sleep by itself, it will not be recognized again by the AEBSn until the station is power cycled or rebooted.

  • What Hard drives can unplug into my Airport Extreme?

    Can I plug a normal flash stick into the AirPort Extreme or do only powered external hard drives work with it.

    Make sure that USB flash drive is formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) or FAT 32 before you plug it into the USB port on the AirPort Extreme.

  • 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?

    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.

  • Can an encrypted USB drive be used with the Airport Extreme?

    I would like to keep an encrypted USB drive hooked up to my Airport Extreme (A1354) so that I can use it for a hand archive of documents I might need to reference on the road or conveniently within my home, mainly because it would be handier than having to plug and unplug a USB device into whatever computer I'm using, and would allow my wife to do the same with her computer. I know most internet providers provide a service like this, but I figured why not just do this with my Airport Extreme?
    I've read posts from people who have taken encrypted USB volumes generated from their MacBook Pro, and plug that USB device into the Airport Extreme. The Airport recognized the device exists, but it is you can't actually use it as an encrypted volume. This seems like a flaw on the part of Apple if you can't do this, as this device is a much more expensive solution that what most wireless routers provide.
    Has anybody figured this one out?

    Doubtful it's going to work. 
    Does it see the same disk if it's formatted just Journaled (ie, not encrypted)?
    The tehnical article isn't entirely clear . . . it just says Mac OS Extended:  AirPort Extreme (802.11n) and Time Capsule: USB storage device supported formats and protocols
    It was last modified June 14, 2011, a couple of weeks before Lion was released with the ability to encrypt drives.
    Note that ExFAT is supported on Macs effective with 10.6.5, but not Airport Extremes; there's no reason to think encryption is any different.

  • Can I use an airport extreme to extend the range of my wireless modem

    Can I use an Airport Extreme to extend the range of my wireless modem?
    At one end of my house I have a dual band wireless ADSL modem which provides my internet connection and I want to extend (improve) the wireless coverage to the other of the hosue where my Apple TV (2nd gen) is located. I have being trying to extend my wireless network with an Airport Extreme but so far without success. I can get the Airport to join the wireless network, but I suspect that it is only acting as another client and not actually extending the wireless range. There is a setting in the Airport configuration to "extend and existing network", however when I choose this option the Airport no longer connects to my existing wireless network and I am beginning to suspect that this fuction only works with another Apple device (Airport Extreme or Express).
    Has anyone been able to extend the range of a third party wireless router / modem with an AirPort Extreme? If so, any advice that you can offer wold be appreciated.
    Regards
    Michael

    Thanks Tesserax,
    Your answer has confirmed my suspicions.
    Option 1 from your suggested solutions is not a goer because the modem and Airport Extreme are in different parts of the house making it impractical to run a cable between the two devices. 
    I did try option 2 and bought a Netgear range extender, which according to Netgear it would work with my D-Link modem - not.
    However I have managed to work around the problem (sort of) by using the Airport Extreme to create a wireless network between my iMac 27 and my Apple TV. The idea is that the iMac will act as a router between ethernet connected ADSL modem and the wirelessly connected Apple TV.
    The good news is that I am now able to play the content from my iTunes library on my Apple TV without interruptions due to a poor wireless connection . Although the connection from the Apple TV to the internet is not working I think this is most likely just a configuration issue and for me it is not really a show stopper.

  • HT4145 How can I use an Airport Extreme to act as a Range Extender for an Alcatel One Touch Y800Z WiFi modem/router? I get a message saying it cannot be extended. Thank you. Arup

    How can I use an Airport Extreme to act as a Range Extender for an Alcatel One Touch Y800Z WiFi modem/router? As we live in a rural area and our landline broadband speeds are awful, I have moved on to a 3G provider in the UK (EE/Orange) and set up the wireless modem which is working very well with an iMac. I have an Airport Extreme base station which was previously connected with an Ethernet cable to the landline router, and two Airport Express stations as Range Extenders. I would now like to use the Airport Extreme and the two Express stations to extend the range of the Alcatel WiFi device. I have tried automatic and manual set up with the Airport Utility but at the crucial step for selecting a network to extend, although the WiFi device is recognised, I get a message saying it cannot be extended.
    Thank you for any help you can provide.

    This is a problem with a lot of cheap end wifi hotspot like devices.. sometimes you can just swap the sim out to a real 3G wireless router.. that is a better approach IMHO than wireless repeater ever will be.
    In the meantime..
    Have a go with the suggestion.. place the express as wireless bridge. With a computer connected to the wifi from alcatel unit.. (I am amazed Alcatel still are in domestic market.. I thought they sold out). Set the express to join the wifi.. you do this in the airport utility.. old one is easy.. but in v6 you have to trust to luck so to speak and hope the auto setup works.. tell us if you have trouble.
    With the Express bridging.. you can then plug it by ethernet into the TC.. which will be in router bridge..
    ie
    You can then run the connection from wireless or ethernet on the TC.. and it will relay back to the alcatel for internet.. all a bit dodgy but who knows.. it may give you what you need.
    Wireless repeater is never particularly reliable in my experience. I would avoid it if possible.

  • Which is better, Netgear N900 or Airport Extreme?

    Which is better, Netgear N900 or Airport Extreme?

    Gpcn,
    I'm going to highly recommend the new Airport Extreme. I've been having all sorts of wifi and networking issues because of the saturated 2.4 GHz spectrum in my surrounding neighborhood.
    I finally bit the bullet on friday night and purchased the Airport Extreme. I could not be happier!
    I used to top out at around 8 Mbit/s download and 1 Mbit/s upload with my older Linksys setup. Now i'm getting 40+ Mbit/s and 2 Mbit/s respectively.
    Not only that, but i'm no longer dropping my wifi with my devices (latops, iPads, iPhone, etc). It's very consistent and the speeds are amazing!
    Sure it may be pricier than others, but it's worth every penny. The setup is very easy and you get Three Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports for connecting computers or network devices as well as built-in NAT support for security. You are better off getting the Airport Extreme.

  • Will Time Machine work with an external hard drive connected (via usb) to Airport Extreme?

    Will Time Machine work with an external hard drive connected (via usb) to Airport Extreme?

    Sorry, but this article is about 4 years old, and was printed based on preliminary information at the time.
    The bottom line here is that Apple does not officially support Time Machine backups to a drive at the USB port of the AirPort Extreme.
    If it works for you, great.
    You might want to review the Apple Support documents below, which are far more recent than the article you reference:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/15139.html

    It is supported.....
    This is NOT correct. Please do not post false information on the forums.

    Your PowerBook G4 400 MHz requires the original AirPort card.

  • Only Getting 2 Bars Off My AirPort Extreme

    I'm only getting two, sometimes three bars, off my AirPort Extreme (802.11n) that is positioned less then 10 ft. away. This is tolerable for my Macbook thought is really hurting the internet features on my Xbox 360, Wii and web enabled Blu-Ray player.
    My basic setup is an Airport Base Station, Printer and iMac in the bedroom; with everything else in the living room. Basically all there is to block the signal is less than 12" of drywall and wood.
    Any ideas how I can get a cleaner, beefed-up signal?

    Welcome to the discussions!
    On your Mac, if you are in the area where the game consoles and Blu-Ray player are located, please hold down the "option" key while you click on the fan shaped AirPort icon at the top of your screen.
    Note the values for the following:
    PHY Mode:
    Channel:
    Transmit Rate:
    Meanwhile, you might want to download Air Radar and use its Scan function to get an accurate reading of your signal strength at various locations. (The "bars" at the top of your screen are not a very accurate indicator of the actual signal strength) Also look for any other networks and note if they are operating on any channels that are close to your network. Air Radar is not free, but there is a 15 day trial period.

  • IMac G4-can i use a Airport Extreme card to connect??

    I'm a bit confused..which macs let you use an airport extreme card, which are for the normal airport cards, and which require 'something else'??!
    I have a iMac G4, not sure exactly which OS (I know it's OS x but not what the numbers are). It's around 4 years old but I've been told I may need to get something else as well as the airport cards? It's passed on info so sorry I can't be more accurate!
    It's to connect to a MIMO belkin router, apparently that's fine if i get the right thing
    any help would be greatly appreciated!
    thanks

    Duane--please forgive me if I am not doing this right, but I am new to the discussion area and haven't figured out how to post a new question for everyone to ask. I have a 17inch flat panel iMac, 800mhz processor speed and am looking to purchase an airport card from e-Bay. I see various people selling and I know I need the original airport card. But my question is: are there more than one models of the original airport card? For instance, one seller is listing an original airport card model # M7600LL/A at a certain price, and it lists my computer as being one of the computers that this card will work with. Another seller has an original airport card model # M7600LL/E for a much lower price. But the description is rather bare of information. Is this the same card just at a different price? Or are there different models of the original airport card? Thanks in advance!
