But it's a typical Apple design, sleek and modern, and I personally think it's beautiful. The design is not up for discussion and is very subjective. Super fast and stable network anywhere in the house. So looking for a stronger model and this Extreme certainly has not stolen its name. From a few meters away from the router, the speed and signal strength were already halved, and in the bedroom on a straight line with no obstacles ten meters from the Airport Express, I had barely any range, and I could barely use the internet.
Seriously, where is the awesome service I used to have from Sonic when I had their DSL service (left for comcast as I was 4,700 feet away from the DSLAM / Distribution Point).I previously used an Apple Airport Express that functions very well and sets up a stable WiFi network, but the range was not sufficient. Told him the signal won't work, he continued to have NO ANSWERS when I told him there was confusion and no real answer on any chat rooms. Just got fiber in the avenues in SF (Sept 2016) Ground Floor: Sonic Pace Router Model 5268AC FXN DEVICE 1 -turn off SSID Ground Floor: Airport Extreme (Model: A1521 / 802.11ac / latest) DEVICE 2 -SSID Set for house (SSID and PW Same for all apple products) First Floor: Airport Express (Model: A1264 - 802.11a/b/g/Draft N) DEVICE 3 -SSID Set for house (SSID and PW Same for all apple products) Second Floor: old Airport Extreme (MB763LL/A) DEVICE 4 -SSID Set for house (SSID and PW Same for all apple products) First Attempt: -disconnect Ethernet from Comcast model, plug into designated slot on Sonic pac -Double NAT issue / Click OK -Ethernet speeds all over large house, 800Mbps++ down / 105Mbps up -Wifi speeds: less than 15 Mbps down / 10 Mbps up Huh? Second Attempt -Airport Extreme connected to Sonic Pace Router - put in bridge mode (turn off DHCP / eliminate Double NAT) -NOTHING WORKS QUESTION: What should settings be on the settings on DEVICE 2, 3, and 4? ARE there SETTINGS on DEVICE 1 I should have changed? Called Customer service (42 minute wait) and the guy on the phone suggested I just use DEVICE 1 for my WHOLE house. All my Wifi devices in the house (tablets, PCs, phones) continued to work with no issue. Both are operational, though if I get around to it I will disable the ATT/Sonic one. (Again, no idea what these things mean :) I did not change the name of my AIport WiFi network to match the ATT/Sonic WiFi network. I also have no idea what means, but it turns out I don't have to! I did have an issue with the 5GHz WiFi network not showing up a choice anymore on my mac, but I solved that by changing the "channel" is uses from Automatic to one I randomly selected.
(I have no idea what that means) And I could tell Airport to ignore it, or to solve it, use "Bridge Mode" (discussed in this thread). In Airport Utility, it reported I had a "Double NAT" problem. When the new Sonic/ATT Pace modem was hooked up, I simply plugged the Airport Extreme into that and everything worked right away (sort of).
Apple airport express vs airport extreme tv#
I also plugged Apple TV and a BluRay player into the Airport Extreme ethernet ports. That modem did not have WiFi so the Airport Extreme ran my home's wifi network. My old setup - I had Airport Extreme plugged into Comcast cable modem. I was able to get my Airport Extreme running with no issues.
