Can I use multiple Airports, connected thru Ethernet, to create a SINGLE wireless network?
I currently have three access points in my house (one being a TimeCapsule configured as bridge).
The problem is that I have three separate wifi networks and whenever reaching one's range my macbook doesn't automatically logon to the next (stronger signal) one.
I have ethernet cables all over the house. All connected to the same switch.
Is there a way of having Airports connected to this switch (over ethernet) and have them bridged to create a one large wireless network?- Asked by Jonas R from Atlanta

Does it also allow ethernet wired networking? It looks like it has three plugs...
I currently have an ancient Belkin router and an ancient Airport Extreme base station, connecting six macs and one ethernet-networked printer. The printer is not USB. It looks like this unit is both a wired and wireless router. Yes? I'd love to replace both the Belkin and the older Airport base station with something more reliable. Thanks, Z

Extending Roaming Network, Airport Extreme with APPLE TV
I have a Time Capsule on the third floor of my house in the office. I use this as the DHCP router. Wireless coverage is good on the top and middle floor, however when I get to the bottom floor the signal is weaker, slower and prone to drop outs.
The bottom floor is where I have my older second iMac, a MacBook Pro, and my home theater which has Apple TV. They all can get a weak wireless signal from the Time Capsule, but like I said it is slow and unreliable. I want to create a roaming network by adding an Airport Extreme to the bottom floor. I have heard that a solid connection from Time Capsule to Airport Extreme with Cat6 or Cat5e ethernet cable is the much preferred and more reliable way to do this.
I would need to run the Cat6 cable on the outside of the house, approximately 120 feet down from the office. There is already a Coax cable that makes that same run to provide cable TV to my bottom floor home theater. I would plan to set the Extreme in bridge mode to act as another Wireless Access Point.
Questions:
1. Is exterior grade Cat6 cable available to make this outside run?
2. Will the transmission be affected if the Cat6 runs close to the Coax cable?
3. The Apple TV device will be in close proximity to where I plan to place the Airport Extreme, should they be connected via ethernet port or connected wirelessly?
4. Would I need to set the Time Capsule and the Airport Extreme to different channels?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.- Asked by David H from Vancouver

Connecting Airport Extreme to Express with ethernet cable between separate buildings.
Can I extend my network from my house to my shop building (100' away) by running an ethernet cable from an Airport Extreme out to the shop and connecting that to an Airport Express? I don't think I'll get a good wireless connection because of all the walls the signal would have to go through, including one that is stucco and metal lath.

Creating a network printer using Airport Extreme (where the printer is linked by USB to an iMac in a different room to the Airport Router)
My office where my HP printer & iMac are based. Printer is linked to iMac with USB.
Spare Room is where our internet connection enters the house and where we've got an Airport Extreme beaming the wireless network.
It's simply not practical to have a clunky printer where guests stay.
We've also got 2 laptops and work in other parts of the house.
How can we set up this network up so that we can print from anywhere in the house using a laptop to the printer in the office?

Can Airport Extreme extend my existing wireless connection (from Cable modem) to another WinXP SP3 PC via Ethernet?
I have a Rogers Cable Modem, that is connected via Ethernet to my DLINK DIR-615 wireless network. I use it to connect my main WinXP PC via Ethernet and wireless to my iPhone, wife's iPod Touch, and 2 Sony PSP3000s (not all simultaneously). I'd like to purchase the Airport Express or Airport Extreme Base Station to extend the existing wireless connection to another room in my apartment to use for a) another WinXP SP3 PC, and b) my lovely Apple TiBook G4.
Can either Airport Express/Extreme do this with or without the 802.11N hardware models??!
Thanks.- Asked by Donovan S from Toronto

I need 16 ethernet 1000 ports AND dualband wireless G/N. How to expand the AirPort Extreme Base Station to give 13 more ethernet for onlineLANparty?
We regularly host LAN parties, most of which are wired through a hub and are off-line. However, more and more games are requiring that each PC be connected to STEAM and/or LIVE so we are looking for a solution where we can have 16 wired computers running at the same time, PLUS we want to have the flexibility to connect to the same network via wireless G or N.
The AirPort Extreme Base Station appears to be the perfect choice for the wireless aspect, but it only has 3 ethernet 1000 ports. Most other options only have 4. Is there a way for us to expand the number of ethernet 1000 ports on the AirPort Extreme Base Station?
We will further use this to connect PCs on CAT5e cables throughout our home. We have a dedicated Windows XP PC hooked up to the TV for Netflix and music (work) stations in the kitchen and two bedrooms, so we want those to be wired into 4 of the 16 wired ports.
I would guess that I could just plug a hub into one of the ethernet ports, but I don't know if that would get all the HUBbed PCs onto the internet or not.- Asked by Ben B from Casper

Expanding a network from Sky Router wirelessly to Apple Extreme in seperate rooms?
Here is the problem that I face, I live in an apartment building and have our second bedroom as an office so this houses my printer, back up harddrive, media harddrive. Here lies the problem the I am a SKY broadband customer so by there terms and conditions must use there supplied router but the supplied router will not let me extend the network from the base station or even connect to it to bridge wirelessly.
When i have the extreme base station hard wired to it it has no problems so i can then turn off the broadcasting on the sky router and just have the base station. This is the problem as i only can have my router in one of two rooms and neither are the office. So need to connect it but without wires?
So what i am trying to do is to arrange a way so that i can access the internet, harddrives, printers etc through the base station but this means i have to have a way of getting it connected, things i have thought about are the Ethernet plugs to send the link or getting another router that can be extended to the Extreme base station, either 3rd party router or if the express base station would work.
Any thoughts or tips would help a lot?- Asked by Tom W
