I'm not sure why, but the results were consistent.
#APPLE AIRPORT EXTREME SETUP PRO#
Yes, transferring files from the new MacBook Pro to the white MacBook turned in the fastest time. But transfers were much faster to hardware using the 802.11n standard: 6 minutes and 9 seconds to the iMac 4 minutes and 59 seconds to the base station itself and an average time of 4:10 to the white MacBook.
#APPLE AIRPORT EXTREME SETUP MOVIE#
It took 12 and a half minutes to copy the movie to the Mac Mini, which can only transfer files using 802.11g. The file - a 1.36GB movie - was transferred to several machines from the MacBook Pro, and after copying the file several times, I averaged the results. To set up AirP or t Ex treme, your c omput er must meet the r equir emen ts listed abo ve. iMac, a new 2.53-GHz MacBook Pro and an older 1.66-GHz Mac Mini at my disposal, I tested the difference in speeds between 802.11n and 802.11g networking. This is a big step forward for anyone looking to squeeze every bit of wireless performance out of a mixed-device environment. The latest base station - and the more expensive Time Capsule - can simultaneously broadcast in the 2.5-GHz and 5-GHz frequencies, with clients automatically connecting to the fastest available signal. That's fine for general Web browsing, but not so hot for large file transfers. For instance, if you had three computers with "n" wireless support and an iPhone that connected using 802.11g (the iPhone doesn't support 802.11n yet), then all clients connected to that network would operate at "g" speeds. This WPS process will pass the Range Extender with the same. That's because older base stations could only deliver the fastest connection speed that the slowest device on the network could support. On Apple Router, like Airport Extreme, theres an option of Add WPS Printer on the Utility. Until now, any speed gained by using the faster 802.11n standard evaporated if you connected devices running the older - and more widely supported - 802.11g protocol. (If you've ever set up a Linksys network, you know what I mean.) Best new feature: Dual-band supportīut the best feature of Apple's new base station by far is simultaneous dual-band support.
#APPLE AIRPORT EXTREME SETUP SOFTWARE#
I remain impressed with Apple's Airport Utility software because the setup options are powerful enough for advanced users, but are simple enough for anyone with even basic networking skills to understand. You can still share printers or external USB hard drives, and Apple's software for setting up and tweaking a wireless network is still the best in its class. The newest Airport Extreme base station, which I bought and have been using for a couple of weeks, retains its flat, white Mac mini-like look the same $179 price tag and the ability to broadcast using the 802.11a/b/g/n protocols on the 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz frequencies. Now Apple has pushed its take on wireless networking another evolutionary step forward by adding simultaneous dual-band Wi-Fi, guest networking and MobileMe support. moved its Airport Extreme Wi-Fi router to the 802.11n networking standard - making the move before 802.11n was even finalized.

To perform a hard reset, hold the reset button for 10 seconds, then set up the base station once again.It's been two years since Apple Inc. Try this after all other troubleshooting tips have failed.

This resets the base station password so you can set it up again using the AirPort Utility. Hold the button for about a second until the light flashes amber. This may require a paper clip or other item with a small point.

When the light turns green, it has restarted and connected to the Wi-Fi network. Connect each AirPort Express to the hub with regular Cat 5 Ethernet cables, set up the AirPorts with Apple AirPort utility with the commands Ill share, and you.

Unplug the AirPort Express and plug it back in: Wait for it to restart.Check for updates: Make sure you have the most recent version of iTunes installed.Restart iTunes: If your computer and the AirPort Express are on the same network, try quitting iTunes and restarting it.Check the network: Make sure your computer is on the same Wi-Fi network as the AirPort Express.
