AirPort Extreme (802.11n) | Forum profile

We are seeing numerous posts on the forum from users who are having difficulties with AirPort Utility 5.5. Apparently, this version is only available on disk with newer products that have shipped recently as Apple has not released an "official" version 5.5 via their website. Suggest you contact Apple for assistance on this. Please report back on your findings. MacBook Pro, iMac   Mac OS X (10.6.2)   Time Capsule,...

Gibson123, Welcome to the discussion area! You really need to get a router which has these capabilities instead of using the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS). iMac Alu C2D 2.4 GHz 24" 4GB and 20" 2GB   Mac OS X (10.6.1)   iBook G4 14" 1.42 [1.5GB],iBook 466 SE Graphite [576M-40GB],iMac G4 700/768MB  

1. I 'could' hardwire the express to the AEBS (cable under the house). Does a wireless bridge extension really slow down that much using a wireless setup? Connecting the two base stations by Ethernet would be the best option for overall bandwidth performance. Extending an 802.11n AirPort with another would not provide the same performance. 2. I am getting my younger kids an XBOX for their room. I have purchased wireless -N adapters...

I guess positioning of the Airport Extreme relative to position of Mac does make a difference. In my case, the Airport Extreme is 4 meters away (linear distance) from the new 27" iMac and 2 meters above ground level without physical barrier in between. You may want to monitor signal strength through Airport Utility 5.5 (550.29) while adjusting position of Airport Extreme (make sure SNMP protocol is allowed and common Community String has...

Hello again, OK, I've attempted to resent my router and identify if there is a MAC address configuration problem. The router is connecting to the wireless via the "Default" MAC address. I can see there is a manual option or another option where I click on a specific MAC address. Is changing this setting advisable to try and resolve the connection? Thanks. lsb iMac   Mac OS X (10.3.x)    

It's not going to work. As long as I stick with my current ISP with my current router, which is all I can do where I live, I need NAT. So I'll have to MAKE Modern Warfare 2 work properly with NAT like my other games do. I'm marking this topic solved because the next step in fixing my problem does not require any modification/troubleshooting with my Airport. System76 PanP5   Other OS    

There are some other people in this and the Time Capsule forum who experience the slow 5 GHz. But, unfortunately, nobody has a solution yet (except exchanging the device maybe). volven Macbook Pro (early 2008)   Mac OS X (10.6.2)  

Thanks!
