Does anyone know if I connect 2 Airport Extremes this way, will they share the same SSID and will my devices switch between them automatically?

What I’m trying to do is plug my iPhone in to my AirPort Extreme in tether mode so that I can create a WiFi Network that has internet access for me to use in my room. Is there such as thing as a lightning to Ethernet adapter? I’ve tried using the Apple lightning to Camera adapter with a...

Hi all, Long time listener, first time caller here, so please go easy! And any info/knowledge y'all have to share would be much appreciated. In short, I currently have UK fibre to my property set up like this: Fibre from street to house > Optical Network Terminal > Vodafone WiFi router...

I thought I’d share an oldie but goodie. I really wish Apple continued to make routers. This one is semi dying. The original wall wort died, so I replaced it, but it only stays online for about a week at a time before it glitches and wireless goes down. Works fine as a gigabit ethernet wired...

Hi. I've done a search of this forum, but I haven't found a definitive answer to this question. I hope someone can help. From time to time, every few weeks, the wi-fi network provided by my Airport Extreme (2nd gen) goes kaput, requiring a restart to set it right. (I never had this problem...

Hi everyone! I am looking for some help! I have AirPort Extreme setup as my primary Wifi. Is there anyway I could allocate static ip for every device I connect it with? for example 1 ip for iPhone 1 for Mac etc.. So if anyone else connects they don't get Internet access unless I manually...

I'm using a 2014 Airport Extreme Base Station and Airport Utility v 6.3.9, which shows copyright 2001-2019. I just checked and there are no software updates for the utility nor firmware updates for the base station. That leads me to wonder if there is a security liability to keep using these...

My home network consists of an AirPort Extreme 802.11ac (6th gen) connected via about 30 feet of Cat 6 cable to an AirPort Extreme 802.11n (5th Gen). The n is set to bridge mode.

So I live in an apartment with a roommate and my desktop does not have a wi-fi adapter nor anything that can connect to wi-fi signals on its own. Enter my Airport Express which I've noticed will have slowdowns after prolonged use, which has lead me to want to switch to using my Airport Extreme...

I'm getting my new iPhone 11 Pro Friday, and wondering if I should finally replace old reliable Airport Extreme router with a new one that supports WiFi 6, since iPhone 11 Pro does. Thoughts?

I have a mac pro 3,1 and a mac pro 2,1. My mac pro 3,1 did not have a airport card installed so i took the one out of my 2,1 and it worked fine. The only issue is for some reason it says it only has 802.11 a/b/g support. I have done research and it says it had 802.11 n support as well but mine...

Hey Everyone— Got a weird one here. Back in mid-2017, we got the 1000Mbps x 1000Mbps AT&T GigaPower service. This has been routed (NAT, default host, DNS) via an AirPort Extreme 802.11ac base station, and has worked great. I've regularly speed-tested at >850Mbps both ways**. However, recently...
