Airport Extreme VLAN support
I am looking at getting the latest model of the Airport Extreme but I have a question first. Does the Airport Extreme support IEEE 802.1Q VLAN Packet tagging? I have a firewall with the ability to have VLANs to segregate traffic. If possible what I would like to do is set the Guest wireless to a separate VLAN than the normal traffic. An before you suggest it the Airport will not be going in front of my firewall.

Can I access a wired device from a wireless device connected to an AirPort Extreme base station?
I have a network printer and a windows file server wired to the ethernet ports but am unable to access them from my macbook pro which is connected wirelessly. Can't even ping even though the AirPort Utility DHCP Clients log indicates that they've been assigned IP addresses.

Can the AirPort Extreme get a DHCP address from another wireless router?
I have a hybrid network consisting of Mac OS X, Windows XP, Windows 7, and TiVo Series 2. I have Verizon FIOS, which comes with a Dlink router which hands out IPs wirelessly by DHCP. My current internal IP range is 192.168.0.x. I want to set up a wired network in one room of the house, but need it to plug in to a router. The problem is, I can't get a wire run between the Dlink and the local router. So, I want to see if the AirPort Extreme can get an IP address within the 192.168.0.x range from the Dlink through DHCP, and have all the devices which are plugged into it receive IPs through DHCP (either from the Dlink or the AirPort Extreme -- don't care which one does it). Does this device support that?

airport extreme as a receiver from another airport extreme?
Instead of using multiple airport express devices as receivers (from airport extreme used as a router), can I use a second airport extreme as a the network receiver (or bridge) and connect multiple devices using ethernet connection? What I am intending to do is connect a blu ray player, AV receiver and a hard drive music server (by ethernet cable) to the second airport extreme and have them access the internet by communicating (wirelessly) with my first airport extreme (which is the router).

Does an 802.11n connection to an Airport Extreme slow down if an 802.11b/g device joins the wireless network?
As mentioned in the Airport Express description, the wireless LAN will slow down from 802.11n speeds to 802.11b/g speeds if an 802.11b/g device connects to the Airport Express. The notes on the Airport Extreme make no mention of a slowdown. Was the information omitted or is the Airport Extreme able to support all modes without slowing down?

Airport Extreme as wifi adapter
I have a Verizon Fios wireless network. I also have a airport extreme I am not currently using. Can I configure the AE to act as a WiFi adapter for my directv box? If so how? I set up the extreme as part of the network but I'm not able to connect an external device such as the directv and get a network connection even though I get a green light from the network connection.

Can AirPort Extreme extend a wireless signal from an AT&T Uverse wireless router?
I have the AT&T wireless router but have a weak signal and very slow transmission speeds at one end of the house. Can I use an AirPort Extreme connected by Ethernet to the AT&T router to strengthen the wireless signal in that end of the house? If so, how do I set it up properly? The intent would be to be able to use my wireless devices (iPhones, iPads, MacBookPro's, TiVo's, in all parts of the house.

will airport extreme work with a fairpoint router?
My current ISP is Fairpoint (NH) with a high speed fiber optic connection. They provide an Actiontec wireless router. Unfortunately, the router does not support Mac wireless. I would like to add an Airport Extreme Base Station to an ethernet output on the Actiontec router. Will this give me fully Mac compatible wireless service? I also wonder which network name and password to use. A few months ago I tried to connect the AEBS to the Actiontec router, but the amber light never stopped blinking. At that point I gave up. I'm ready to try again.

I have an older AirPort Extreme that I would like to replace. My question is, what makes this better than say a Linksys E Series router?
I am looking to replace my AirPort extreme because it drops my connection at least 10 times a day. I have tried every channel on the device, factory reset it many times, and it just doesn't work. There are no other wireless networks nearby and we don't have any devices here that would interfere with it. What makes the new AirPort Extreme better than the Linksys E2000, E2100L or E3000? Thanks.

Does the Airport Extreme only support WEP encryption? Or does it also allow the use of AES and/or TKIP?
I've noticed in the specifications that the Airport Extreme uses WPA and WPA2 standards, but only mentions using 128-bit WEP encryption. Since WEP is a fairly weak encryption standard now, I was wondering if it supports AES or at least TKIP. I currently use WPA2 with AES encryption on my wireless router.
