Which non apple modem/router work with airport extreme

Hi
My old modem needs replacing. It currently feeds into my airport extreme and an airport express extends the network to my office in the garage. Ideally I want an 'n' speed modem/router and use the airport extreme to extend the network in the garage, doing away with the airport express's slower speeds.
Are there any non apple modem/routers that will work with the airport extreme to extend the network.
Many thanks

Not if you are planning to "extend" using wireless only.
If you are planning to extend the network by connecting to your new modem/router using an ethernet connection, you have some configuration options to choose from in that case. Post back if you need more details about this.

  • Comcast Arris Modem/Router interfering with AirPort Extreme?

    Constantly getting knocked off the internet. Using an Arris Modem/Router  TG862G
    and an Apple Airport Router.
    3 feet separate each router.
    Am I getting knocked off the internet; because my AirPort Extreme  is "confusing" my Arris Modem? Could interference cause internet disconnections?
    Or is it likely something else?
    Thanks

    I had this same exact issue occur when I connected a printer to my Time Capsule, literally unplug everything from the router i.e. printer, computer, etc. etc. and wait a few minutes. Then re-plug all the peripherals (try different ports, except the LAN ) and see if that solves your wifi issue. If not, then unplug the router and just "give it a rest" then re-plug everything. If that doesn't work then defineitely try a hard reset or see if one of your connected devices is interfering with the network. In my case it was the printer that screwed up my connection and not the modem. I would also try switching LAN ports on the modem and see if that helps.
    Hope this helps!

  • Which epson wireless printer will work with airport extreme (can not find out from epson)

    three systems in use Win 7, Mac lion and vista.  Former epson printer WF 600 would not link with my new airport extreme router despite multiple attempts through epson.  Does anyone know of a wireless printer that will work?  Thanks.

    I had the same problem. It was fixed by running the silly app downloadable from their support page: http://support.lexmark.com/perl/support/support.cgi?ccs=229:1:0:0:0:0
    Here's another way, through CUPS:
    1) http://127.0.0.1:631/
    2) Administration tab
    3) Add Printer
    4) Give Name, Location, and Description (pretty inconsequential)
    5) Select device: Internet Printing Protocol (http)
    6) Device URL: lexnet3://192.168.5.110:1 (the parts in bold must be there, the ip add is probably different)
    7) Make: Lexmark
    8) Model: 3600-4600 series (if this isn't there, you need to get the driver from Lexmark)
    That should do it.
    The printer will be in your system preferences.
    The port number and the "lexnet3://" is the interesting part. Without them, I don't think you'll be able to get it working.
    Good luck

  • Using Non-Apple 802.11N Adapters with Airport Extreme

    I have an Airport Extreme Base Station but both N enabled and G enabled Macs in the house. I'd really like to set up the network as an N network. And since I can upgrade the Airport Cards in the older Macs, can I use 3rd Party 802.11N adapters (USB 2.0 for example) to get the older Macs onto the N network? Otherwise, it seems to defeat the purpose of having the 802.11N enabled Airport Extrement and iMacs.
    I see that Netgear and Edimax have such adapters, but neither lists Mac OSX as a supported OS.
    Thank you.

    Thank you for your comment. But unfortunately, I still need to run my non-N machines. So I think my choices are:
    1. Try somehow to replace the older Airport Cards in those machines with N-Cards which seem like a pain
    2. Have 2 networks, one N and one non-N
    3. Try some of these 3rd Party USB or PC Card Slot N-Adapters
    Seems like 3. is the least painful option?
    Any advice on whether I can use 3rd Party N-Adapter would be very appreciated! Thanks again!

  • Will a wireless printer work with airport extreme?

    Will a wireless printer work with airport extreme? Such as an HP Photosmart D110.

    Yes, it will as long as it is within wifi signal range of the Extreme.  Of course, you'll need to go through the printer setup sequence. NOTE:  The D110 is not AIRPRINT compatible, so it will not print from ios operating systems that are installed in mobile devices such as iphones, ipads, ipods.  However, there are Apps that are available for non airprint printers, but their quality and effectiveness are questionable.

  • Will a WD hard drive work with AirPort Extreme to connect with an iPad Air

    Will a WD hard drive work with Airport Extreme to connect by a iPad Air

    If you already have an AE and a WD drive .. the best idea is plug it in and see on a mac in airport utility is the drive recognised.
    If not you have problems.. if it is formatted correctly (Not NTFS mainly) then it can be a drive that is not compatible.
    assuming it works get your ipad and pay for filebrowser or at least download a test copy and see how it goes.
    Always the best way to find out.. try it.

  • Any current inkjet printers work with Airport Extreme 802.11g Basestation?

    Does anyone know if there are any printers out there currently being sold that actually work with Airport Extreme (802.11g)? Not the latest 802.11n basestation, but the UFO-shaped Extreme g basestation? I recently tried the HP DeskJet D4160 and it does not work at all with it, although my deprecated HP 940c works just fine. I need to replace the 940C, and I don't want to have to buy and return 20 different printers in order to find one that actually works... Any help is appreciated!
    Thanks

  • Does AirPlay work with AirPort Extreme?

    Does AirPlay work with AirPort Extreme?

    The AirPort Extreme does allow AirPlay to "pass-through" but it does NOT support receiving AirPlay streams to be played back through powered speakers or an audio receiver as it does not have any built-in audio circuitry like the AirPort Express models.

  • Recommended modem to work with airport network?

    I have Time Warner internet and need to get a modem to work with an Airport Express, Extreme and Time Capsule. Can anyone please recommend one?
    Thanks.

    We recommend a modem that is compatible with your Internet service and one that your Internet Service Provider (ISP) will support.
    We could recommend the "best" modem in the world, but it would be of little value if you have connection difficulties and then find out that your ISP does not support that modem.
    It might be a better stategy to check with your ISP first, to see what they offer....or....if they do not offer a modem, to see if they have a list of compatible models that they will support.
    Often, the ISP will provide you with a modem free of charge of you commit to year or more of service.
    If you cannot decide among compatible models, then post back a list of what your ISP is offering.....to see if other users will respond with some opinions.

  • Will sony s-air sw10ti work with airport extreme?

    Hi There,
    I have the Sony S-Air SW10 Ti which has a great sound but the Aerial on it for DAB Radio is rubbish, it does have a docking station which also sounds good but no other connection parts. Would this perhaps work with " Airport or Aiport Express/Extreme" ?

    Thanks - I am glad that you explained your situation a liitle more - although there is no direct way to connect to the wi-fi of the Sony - the Airport Express (not the Extreme) has an audio out jack that can be connected to any system - this would be an indirect way of using wi-fi with your Sony - see this link - http://www.apple.com/airportexpress/ - you could also incorporate Apple TV into your setup - see this link - http://www.apple.com/appletv/ - but as you can see, both of these choices involve AirPlay and Itunes which may limit your options - and because they are beyond the scope of this discussion group, I would suggest that you re-word your questions and ask them in the appropriate disccusion group in this forum - I hope that this clarifies things somewhat.

  • How do I bridge motorola NVG510 to work with Airport Extreme

    Hey everyone, I need some help.
    I just got uverse and they sent me a motorola Nvg510 router.  I need to put it under bridge mode so I can use the airport extreme and use the guest network functionality.  I don't know what settings to put the motorola router and the airport extreme.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Please let me know if I have to provide any more information.
    Thanks,
    AC

    I've put up a webpage to explain how to "force" the modem in effective bridge mode here:
    http://www.ron-berman.com/2011/11/24/motorola-nvg510-help-page-for-att-u-verse-u sers/
    (See question 6).
    To get the IP address, just use what your NVG510 reports as "Broadband IPv4 Address" in the Broadband tab of its configuration page.
    This address is mostly static (hasn't changed for me in months), and will only change where AT&T make a physical change on the line.

  • How do i set up time capsule to work with airport extreme base to extend wireless network?

    i have a airport extreme base, how do i set up a time machine to extend the wireless network i have with airport extreme? i have also 3 airport express's connected to the same network to extend my wifi all over my house. thanks in advance.

    Much better graphics, thanks.
    You can leave the Time Capsule connected by Ethernet from the Linksys and configure for a "roaming" network as mentioned previously.
    To do this, open AirPort Utility - Manual Setup
    Click the Wireless tab below the icons
    Wireless Mode = Create a wireless network
    Wireless Network Name = Same name as the AirPort Extreme
    No check mark needed next to Allow this network to be extended
    Radio Mode = Same setting as the AirPort Extreme
    Channel = Automatic
    Wireless Security = Same setting as the AirPort Extreme
    Wireless Password = Same password as the AirPort Extreme
    Confirm Password
    Click the Internet icon, then the Internet Connection tab
    Connect Using = Ethernet
    Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
    Update to save settings and allow the Time Capsue to restart
    Then power down the entire network
    Wait a minute or two
    Start the modem first and let it run a full minute
    Start the AirPort Extreme the same way
    Power up the switch
    Power up the Time Capsule for a minute
    Keep starting devices one at a time about a minute apart
    Now, your computer will automatically pick up a wireless signal from either the AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule, whichever device is closer and providing the stronger signal.

  • Can I use Airport Express's Airtunes with a non-Apple modem/router?

    I am about to set up a network in our second home, so I am trying to do it as economically as possible. I will have a Verizon modem/router. The Verizon rep says the Verizon equipment is all I need for a computer network (no Airport Extreme Base Station needed). But I would also like to play music on Internet radio stations through iTunes on my Cambridge Soundworks system in a room that is different from the one where the Verizon modem/router will be. Can I purchase an Airport Express with Airtunes to plug in near the music system without also getting an Airport Extreme Base Station to which the Airport Express would be linked? If it is possible to go with just the AE, is it foolish to avoid getting the base station if I would also like to have wireless printing on my network? (I believe I would need the Airport Extreme Base Station for printing because it has the USB port.)

    The Airport Express will do what you want in addition to printing if your printer is compatible as it does have a USB port. Just configure the Express to "join" the wireless network that the Verizon router is creating.
    You will be able to stream AirTunes to the AirPort Express, which in turn will furnish an audio signal to your stereo system.
    If you want to be able to stream any audio source from your computer to the AirPort Express...not just iTunes audio sources...you might want to take a look at Airfoil.

  • How do I set up for extending my non-apple wi-fi network with Airport Express?

    I have Trendnet router that I use for providing wi-fi capabilities in my home.  The problem is that it is set up in my basement and it doesn't extend to the back of the house.  I'm also having problems setting up my wireless printer with this setup.  I thought that by getting a AE, I could take care of these two things.  I could set up the AE upstairs to repeat the wireless signal and at the same time have an easier set up (as in an apple).  But, I'm not sure how to set it up.  Can someone help?

    Do you have a separate modem and Trendnet router now, or is the Trendnet a gateway....combination modem/router in one box?  If you add another AirPort at this location, it will need to connect to a modem, or it could connect to your Trendnet router and you could turn off the wireless on the Trendnet
    If you go wireless all the way, what is the approximate distance between the "main" router and the "remote" AirPort?  How many walls will be in the signal path?  How are these walls constructed?
    In general....I have found that power line works better than wireless....unless you have a very good wireless connection. If you take your computer to the remote area where the extender will be located, and you can get a good, solid wireless signal, you are probably OK.  The Express can only "extend" the quality of signal that it receives.
    But will the wireless setup for video streaming (which is my main goal) be reliable?
    Questions like this cannot be answered because it is just not possible to predict wireless performance and results in advance of any installation.  The products might be great....but other wireless networks around you or cordless phones cause interference problems.
    In this regard, If I only had one chance at a network, I would go with wired connections over wireless.
    If you go with the 2 AirPort Express plan, I would suggest that you still have a "Plan B" if wireless does not deliver the performance you want. Personally, I would never try to stream video, especially high definition, over wireless here at the house, but it can work if everthing else falls into place....and the planets are in the right alignment.

  • New non-apple modem/router can't find old Time Capsule

    I've been using a Time Capsule for both backup and wifi for years. But now I have a brand new modem/router (non-apple). I wanted to turn off the wifi on the Time Capsule and just use it for backup. I found instructions on how to do that and did it, but when I went to update to the new settings there was an error and now my system cannot find the Time Capsule, even though it is plugged in, connected and showing a steady green light. The TC is connected to the modem via ethernet and did show up long enough for me to change the settings so I'm confident I have the right physical setup. I've tried restarting both my computer and the TC, but Airport Utility still can't detect a device. What do I do now?
    Thanks!

    Full factory reset on the TC..
    Then plug into it directly with ethernet and do the configuration.. bridge mode.. off wireless if you want.. although there is nothing wrong with still running the wireless and the 5ghz is much faster than using wifi usually on a Mac at least from close range. Update and plug the TC back into the modem.. this is usually necessary whenever you move things around.
    The Factory Reset.
    Power down the TC.
    Hold in reset. and keep holding it in. Be Gentle! It is a tiny surface mount switch with a plastic lever.. Attempting to push it out the other side of the TC will not make the switch turn on better.
    (I fix TC and have several reset levers bent over and jammed or broken off).
    Power on the TC.. remember with the reset held in.. this needs three arms.. a friend or power switch you can get to with your feet..
    Keep holding in reset for about 10sec until the front LED flashes rapidly.
    Release reset and wait .. the boot will be slow as it deletes previous setting.. only from router side and pulls out the factory defaults. No files are deleted on the hard disk.. but the name of the TC may change.
