Will Airport Extreme Network with Panasonic Viera TC-P50ST30

Will Airport Extreme Network work properly with Panasonic Viera TC-P50ST30 HDTV?

I don't have this particular model, but I do have a Panasonic TC-P42GT25 plasma which has no difficulties accessing the Internet through my 4th Gen AirPort Extreme Base Station or 4th Gen Time Capsule.

What radio mode do you have the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) configured for? (ref: AirPort Utility > Select the AEBSn > Manual Setup > AirPort > Wireless > Radio Mode = ?)

Extending Airport Extreme network with Airport Express using WDS

I have been having some trouble using WDS between an Airport Extreme and Express, with the Extreme acting as the internet router in the network.
Both devices have been updated with the lastest firmware.
I am using Airport Utility 5.5.1
*Airport Extreme Configuration*
*Wireless Tab*
Wireless Mode: Participate in a WDS network
Allow Network to be extended: Checked
Radio Mode: Auto
Security: WPA/WPA2 Personal
Channel Selection: Manual (Same as my Express)
*WDS Tab*
WDS Mode: WDS Main
Allow Wireless Clients: Checked
WDS Remotes: (MAC of my Airport Express)
*Airport Express Configuration*
*Wireless Tab*
Wireless Mode: Participate in a WDS network
Channel: (Same as my Extreme)
Network Name: (my network name)
Wireless Security: WPA/WPA2 Personal
Allow this network to be extended: unchecked
Radio Mode: 802.11n (802.11 b/g compatible)
*WDS Tab*
WDS Mode: WDS Remote
Allow Wireless Clients: checked
WDS Main: MAC of my Airport Extreme
I think that covers the pertinent stuff. If there's anything else that might be useful, please just say so.
So, the Extreme is green-lit, working fine. Wireless clients can connect to it just fine. On the Wireless Clients page the MAC of my Express is showing up, with a type of WDS listed. It does not, however, show up under the DHCP clients section.
The Express is yellow-lit. Sometimes after a setting change it goes green for a minute or so, then back to yellow, reporting a WDS Error ("the AirPort Wireless device is set up as part of a WDS network, but no other AirPort wireless devices were found").
The Airport Express is ending up with an ip address of 169.254.49.198 (an automatic private). It seems it's not getting an ip from the Extreme's DHCP.
Do I have some sort of authentication issue here? Honestly I'm totally baffled.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Would the routers' logs be of any help?
Thanks

Wait, just did a bit more reading. Am I correct in assuming now that the "Extend a network" option will function as a wireless repeater, with no ethernet connection to the main router required
Yes. This will provide much better wireless performance...and...its much easier to configure.
On your AirPort Extreme, open AirPort Utility - click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons
Wireless Mode = Create a wireless network
Make sure there is a check mark next to "Allow this network to be extended"
Update to save settings
On the AirPort Express, open AirPort Utility - click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab
Wireless Mode = Extend a wireless network (hold down the option key when you click on the selection box if you do not see this setting)
Wireless Network Name = Click on the selection box and name of your AirPort Extreme network should appear
Check mark next to Allow wireless clients
Wireless Security = Exact same setting as the AirPort Extreme network
Wireless Password = Same password as the AirPort Extreme network
Confirm Password
Update to save changes
A good starting location for the Express is a point that is about 1/2 to 2/3 the distance from your AirPort Extreme to the area that needs more coverage.
The ethernet port on the Express is also enabled, so you can connect an ethernet device if needed. Post back to let us know how things are working.

How do I maintain my Airport Extreme network with my new Comcast wireless gateway?

Hi all,
I've just signed up Internet access through Xfinity. Today, they sent me a new wireless gateway, which I am willing to use. But I would also like to maintain the network I've currently been using, which is an Airport Extreme hooked up to our DSL modem. Currently, I have a Brother wireless printer, our TiVo, and a Roku streaming stick on this network, as well as all of our Macs and mobile devices. I have been reading about "bridge mode," and selecting this mode once my AE is hooked up through the Ethernet cable to our new wireless gateway seems like the way to go if I'd like to keep the AE network I have now. Then, I can select either the new Xfinity network or the AE network, depending on my need. Is that correct? Will I have to reassign all of these peripherals to the AE network once it's been placed in bridge mode, or will they all be able to find that network automatically once the AE is plugged into the new modem/router? Also, is there a way to connect the AE to the new Xfinity equipment wirelessly, or is it best to connect through Ethernet? I have probably betrayed my ignorance more than a few times in this post, so please be kind and explain it to me like I'm a seven-year-old. Thanks in advance for any and all help!

Call Comcast and ask them for instructions to configure their "wireless gateway" as a simple modem. Sometimes the terminology they use is "transparent bridging". Have them walk you through it, since all such devices are configured differently. It is usually through a web page but you will need a password to change its settings. You ought to turn off its wireless network also, so ask about that too.
Then, you will have essentially what you have been accustomed to using: an Extreme connected to a box with an Ethernet cable, doing everything it used to do when you had DSL. Your AirPort Extreme is almost certainly a better router than whatever junk Comcast supplies, and to reconfigure it as a bridge would remove all the features that make it so.
You probably won't need to change a thing on your Extreme, other than to unplug it and plug it in again after reconfiguring the "wireless gateway".

Will Airport Extreme work with OS X 10.4.11

I have a MacBook (black) with OS X 10.4.11 and am unable to configure my new Airport Extreme (802.11n) using Airport Utility 5.4.2 (the newest one available for download). When I try to set-up the AEBS, I get this error message:
+"This version of AirPort Utility doesn't support this Apple wireless device and might improperly configure the device if you continue to use it. Use the version of AirPort Utility that came on the CD with your Apple wireless device."+
When I try to install the software from the CD that came with the Airport, I get this message:
+"You cannot install Airport Utility on this volume. This software requires Mac OS X version 10.5.7 or later."+
When I bought the AEBS today, I was worried that it wouldn't work with OS X 10.4.x but the salesperson at the Apple Store assured me it would. I know that the specs online said +"For setup and administration: Mac computer with Mac OS X v10.5.7 or later, CD drive, and Ethernet or wireless networking capability"+ but I found the Technical Specs from Apple's Support Page stating that +"For setup and administration: Mac with Mac OS X v10.4 or later, CD drive, and Ethernet or wireless networking capability"+ so I thought maybe they had done something to allow users with the older OS to still set-up and use the AEBS.
I am able to use the AEBS without any problems (online with it right now) but I would really like the opportunity to set-up and protect my wireless network. Is there any way to do this on my current OS or will I have to upgrade in order to use the Airport Extreme?
Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated!! Thanks!

Welcome to the discussions!
If you could borrow a Mac with a newer operating system, you could use this to setup the AirPort Extreme and your computer would work on the network. Alternately, you might check to see if someone at the Apple store could help you setup your AirPort Extreme there and then you could take it home.
If you can't find a Mac to setup the AirPort Extreme, you will need to upgrade your system software to be able to configure the device.

Extending and airport extreme network with wired connection to a express

I am getting fed up of deadspots in my house that now seem to have become much worse recently. After giving up on configuring my extreme router to avoid issues I now want to extend the network.
If I put in a network cable from the extreme router to an airport express on the other side of the house can this be configured to be the same wireless network?
I know express routers have an option of extending the network is this for wired or wireless or both and if I do this will it show up as one wireless network with no interference issues?. At the moment I am planning on getting an express airport and using some of those power cable ethernet adapters to link the two routers up should this work okay?
Many thanks
Andy

Welcome to the discussions, Andy!
If I put in a network cable from the extreme router to an airport express on the other side of the house can this be configured to be the same wireless network?
Yes, post back if you need more details about this.
and if I do this will it show up as one wireless network with no interference issues?
There will be no interference issues between the AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express. However, if you live in an area with a number of other wireless networks around you, or you have cordless phones, there may well be some interference issues to tackle.
I am planning on getting an express airport and using some of those power cable ethernet adapters to link the two routers up
That should work assuming that both ethernet powerline adapters will be on the same master electrical circuit. I would suggest that you get a clear understanding of the store's return policy though...just in case.

Will Airport Extreme work with MacBook and PCs in a secure, wireless way?

Currently have a Netgear router that we use for wireless internet access. It is not a secured router and it's time to get a better solution. Will the Airport Extreme work easily and well with an HP laptop, HP Envy printer and my MacBook?

The Airport Extreme is compatible with all computers, even PCs and tablets and phones other than Apple too. You can easily manage/administrate the Airport Extreme and its network with your iPads and iPhone.

Is it possible to extend an Airport Extreme Network with a normal router ?

Hi everyone !
I know this question as been asked a lot before, but not in this way, I always saw : How to connect an Airport Extreme/Express to a Normal (D-Link, Linksys, Ect.) Router. What I wan't to do is connect a normal router to my existing Airport Extreme to extend the range of it. I know you can extend the network with an Airport Express, the thing is, i wan't to try with the router I replaced by the Airport Extreme. It's an D-Link DIR-615. If someone know how to do this it will be very nice and helpfull for me! I know on Apple website it says that it's not possible but some people seems to get it to work!
Thanks a lot !
(Sorry for my bad english i'm french Canadien)

You can extend the wireless range of the AirPort with a D-Link or the other way around ... BUT only if the connection between them is wired. This would be the basis of a roaming network. If you must have them interconnected by wireless, then it will NOT work.

Adding a non-wireless PC to an Airport Extreme network with WDS, or extend

I have an Airport Extreme base station (802.11n), a Time Capsule, and a cable modem. Currently the Time Capsule is wired by WAN to my cable modem. It is broadcasing a wireless network to my iMac Intel Core2Duo running 10.5.2 and my AppleTV, and my MacBook Pro running 10.4.11. I'd just acquired a Windows XP PC with no WiFi card but a built-in NIC card. I'm having difficulty adding the Airport Extreme base station to the network of the Time Capsule, so the non-wireless PC can use the LAN port of the Airport Extreme and pickup an internet connection. I don't want anything connected to the WAN port of the Airport Extreme. The PC can't be moved to the room with the cable modem. Should I:
1. Set it up from the Airport Utility of my iMac or MacBook Pro?
2. Switch the placement of the Airport Extreme and Time Capsule?
3. What steps should I take from Airport Utility, to add a reset Airport Extreme or Time Capsule to the network already tied to my Cable modem?

Since both of your base stations are 802.11n, I suggest that you use the "extend a network" feature available to these, instead of creating a WDS.
1. Set it up from the Airport Utility of my iMac or MacBook Pro?
Your choice, you could use the AirPort Utility from either of these Macs to configure the base stations.
2. Switch the placement of the Airport Extreme and Time Capsule?
I'd suggest leaving the Time Capsule connected to the modem and use the AEBSn to extend its wireless network.
3. What steps should I take from Airport Utility, to add a reset Airport Extreme or Time Capsule to the network already tied to my Cable modem?
Here are the basic steps to configure the extended network:
o If practical, place the base stations in near proximity to each other during the setup phase. Once done, move them to their desired locations. You may also want to temporarily connect the AEBSn directly to one of the TC's LAN ports during setup.
o Open AirPort Utility and select the TC.
o Choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu.
o Click AirPort in the toolbar, and then click Wireless.
o Choose “Create a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then select the “Allow this network to be extended” checkbox.
o Next, select the AEBSn, and again choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu.
o Choose “Extend a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then choose the TC's wireless network from the Network Name pop-up menu.
o Click Update to update the base station with new network settings.
o Upon completion of the setup, you can now relocate the AEBSn to its desired location.

Airport Extreme network with Ubuntu Linux (7.10), Windows (XP) and MacBook

Hi all.
My problem is that I cannot get Ubuntu to connect to Airport Extreme, see the hard disk(s) connected on it and print through it.
Airport extreme is connected to my adsl modem and I have an Ubuntu PC, Windows PC and a MacBook connected to airport extreme. Windows PC and MacBook work as expected. From the Ubuntu machine I can only connect to the Internet but I can't see the hard disks and printers. I think this is because I provided the modem's IP address to connect to (I chose Static IP in Network Settings and provided the modem's IP as a gateway). When I provide airport extreme's IP address as a gateway I am disconnected from the Internet.
To use airport extreme on Windows and macbook I used the installation CD, but it will not work on ubuntu. I installed airport-utils but it won't help, perhaps I am doing something wrong.
Any suggestions?

I suspect you have already found this out so this reply may simply be for my own memory recall in the future when I have forgotten it.
To connect to the network drives you need to open the file browser. Then from the Go menu select Network. You will likely see the AirPort Extreme Base Station show up as a cryptic name. Double click on it and you should see the shares.
For the printer I can't help as of yet since I haven't tried it yet.

Trying to extend my airport extreme network with an airport express

I´m trying to extent my network with an airport express 802.11g.
I´ve been fallowing the guide:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4259
however, when I´m trying to configure the extended wifi base station ( point 8.) it won´t let me choose "extend a wireless network".
The only options I have is "create network", "join network" and "participate in a wds network".
I´ve been trying to find a solution all day.
Is there anyone out there who has hade the same problem or knows what it could be?
I´ve made sure that my base station connected to the internet through ethernet has checked the "allow this network to be extended"

however, when I´m trying to configure the extended wifi base station ( point 8.) it won´t let me choose "extend a wireless network"
Unfortunately, the older AirPort Express 802.11"g" model does not have a setting to "extend a wireless network", so it cannot be used the way that you want.
The article that you reference should be clear about this:
This article explains how to set up an 802.11"n" extended wireless network.
You need to use one of the newer AirPort Express 802.11"n" models to gain the ability to "extend a wireless network".

Will airport extreme work with Mac OS v10.6?

I have an Imac from 2009, Using OS X v 10.6.8 and cannot get an airport extreme to match. I kept getting a msg to upgrade airport utility hardware 6.2.2, but then an unable to do so. Are the 2 incompartible? I thought the advantage of apple products was connectivity. Any thoughts are appreciated!! Paul

The most recent AirPort Extreme works without any problem with Mac OS X Snow Leopard, but the problem is that it requires AirPort Utility 6.3 to set it up, and this version is only available for OS X Lion and Mountain Lion.
If you don't want to upgrade Mac OS X and you have an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, you can use them to set up your AirPort Extreme. Open Settings > Wi-Fi, choose your AirPort station and follow the steps.
If you don't have any of those devices, upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion. Open the Mac App Store and purchase it. Make a backup of your data with Time Machine and check that your applications are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com When the download finishes, upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion. After upgrading, open  > Software Update, and install AirPort Utility 6.3, which you have to open and follow its steps.
The other option is to return your AirPort Extreme and get an older one

Extend AirPort Extreme Network with AirPort Express- Setup assistance

I have an AirPort Extreme working nicely and connected directly to my Comcast cable modem. I would like to extend my network for greater coverage upstairs and to run an upstairs printer on the network. I cannot get the Express connected as an extension to my existing wireless network. What am I doing wrong?

Hi Bob. Do you mind if I listen in on this thread? I am trying to extend a network the same way JVT1057 is, yet my Mac mini in the Airport application cannot find the Express device. The Extreme device is up and working well, and is "seen" by the mini in the utility, but not the Express device. I need a stronger signal in a home office upstairs and would like to connect a networked printer here in the office via the Express.
What am I doing wrong? I, too, have specifiied on the Extreme menus that I want the network to be extended.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Emac G4 problems with joining Airport Extreme network

I have an Airport Extreme network with two Airport Express base stations. The Airport Extreme is connected to the internet via ethernet/cable modem. The imac and the base stations work fine and I have no problem with my internet access on the imac, but I can't get internet access via the emac. It appears that the emac is connected to the network, but I get an error message ("Can't find server") when I try to access the internet. What have I done wrong?
imac G5 isight Mac OS X (10.4.4) Other computer: emac G4, operating system 10.3.9

Is the eMac connected wirelessly to the network?

How to connect old aiport express to my new Airport Extreme? My Ipad says "base station e5713b cannot be configured" and my AirPort tool on my PC will not permit me to add my new Airport Extreme network (no network names to choose from)

How to connect old aiport express to my new Airport Extreme?
I have a PC running with Win7 and just replaced my Jensen With a brand New Airport Extreme.
I have set up the Airport Extreme to the internet, Iphones and Ipads and it work as it should.
I have downloaded latest Version of Airport tool on my PC. In addition i have downloaded the airport tool for Ipad.
I have reset one of my airport Express and it now shows up both on the Ipad and on the PC airport tool.
My Ipad says "base station e5713b cannot be configured."
I have wired the airport Express to my Ethernet to be able to "see it" on my Airport tool.
My AirPort tool on the PC will not permit me to add the airport Express to my new Airport Extreme network (no network names on the drop-down list to choose from). I wished for an easy set-up, but nothing seems to be plug and play as the Commercial says.. can you please help me?
Sigve

Hi
Thanks for Swift reply.
Yep - I in fact have two A1088 and one A1264
I actually bought the new router because the Jensen
router always lost connection to the Airport Express after some hours or days. I
always needed to restart my Jensen to play music and that was driving my wife
mad. The hope was that the Extreme should fix this. Both A1088 have been set up
to only stream music to two of my stereo amplifiers from my PC’s Itunes library.
Are the A1088 now useless?
The A1264 has been set up to feed internet into a Denon Reciever that needed Ethernet cable.
Please advise
Regards
Sigve
