I have an AEBS and have to make some changes to use the Air Video app for my iPhone.
I have to switched it to Bridged Mode and also set up Port forwarding on my comcast router (SMC 8014) to get Air Video to work over the internet.
The missing piece is I need to know the WAN address of my AEBS. How do I find this out?
I'm sure there is a few people on here that have made the swap - is it worth it? Is the difference in speed noticible to warrant an upgrade.
My current setup:
2.4 MBPu
Mac Mini (coming soon)
Dell Inspiron
Canon Printer
Touch
Slingbox (hardwired to AEBS)
AE (old school version)
WD 1TB external (connected to AEBS via usb)
All currently connected to a AEBS wireless.
I have a iMac (bought new in 2009) running Leopard. I live in a home with two roommates and I think one of them has been viewing inappropriate material on my desktop while I'm at work. Is there any way for me to view the history other than through Safari. i.e., IP adress history?? Also, how can I clean my computer/hard drive thoroughly as to prevent incrimination? I have since changed my password to prevent access from anyone other than myself, but I do not want anything I'm not aware of on my hard drive!

How can I add other categories under the address view (eg: friends)? How can I add a view of contacts that have no category association. How can I change the current default views?
I currently keep my iTunes library on an external drive, connected to my Airport Extreme. I also have another drive attached to the AEBS that I would like to back my iTunes library to.
Can this be done? I've got the full version of Super Duper which will let me back up local drives to any network drive but I can't seem to get it to back to to a network drive to a network drive.
I would like to view as Columns but it is grayed out in Finder view options. Why is this? And is there a way to fix it?Â

Earlier tonight I opened iCal, only to find that none of my calendars were there. it was completely empty. However, when I changed the view from "Week" to "Month" all of my events were listed (in the proper color) on the appropriate day, but I still had no list of calendars on the left. Subsequent changes between "Day" "Week" and "Month" view continued to display the events properly, but nothing showed up in the calendar menu on the left.
I repaired permissions same thing happened.I trashed com.apple.ical pref (forgot the exact filename)�same behavior. I use .mac to sync between computers, and I use Missing Sync to sync to a Palm T|X.
I have an older MBP (2.2Ghz, 2GB RAM, 120GB HD) and am having problems with PDF files. Well, I guess it would be better described as annoyances with PDF files. I use Adobe Reader and the lag when scrolling is unbearable. Does anyone know of a way to fix this? Can anyone suggest alternate programs that may remedy my problem.

1) Are the Ethernet ports 10/100/1000 ?
2) Can I setup MAC based access with WEP or WPA security?
3) Does it support uPnP ?
4) Can I setup IP reservations for my other devices? iPhones, Laptops, Servers, etc..
5) Does it support Port Forwarding?
6) Can I plug in a External Drive and use it as a Time Machine backup device?
So I've recently setup my AEBS(non dual) for N only and network utility shows it's about twice as fast(I haven't really done any tests or know how though). However now my iPhone can't access it. Now I've got a AE that I use strictly for wireless audio(I live in a one bedroom setup so no need to extend), is there a way to set that up as a G network somehow for my iPhone, and in case friends come by with non N laptops? If it helps any, the AEBS is not that far from the AE if wiring is an option.
Right now I have AEBS+MiniStack(hdd)+printer, and AE+iPod HiFi. I'd like my MacBook to be able to run off the AEBS and access my ministack, but at the same time transmit audio to my HiFi. Then I'd like my iPhone and older laptops to access my AE. I don't mind a mess of wires on the other side of my room, I just don't want anything with me on the couch but the power cord.
I'm in the market for another wireless router. Does anyone know i would be able to set up the "quality of service" for both the Extreme or Express base stations?

Any negatives to this when in home network, know the obvious issue of when away and some solutions for that, with the caveats over access over internet.
I was planning on setting up 2 iphoto n iTunes albums one locally n one on the wireles attached HDD and using just favourites locally when away from the home.
Assuming this must be a common issue for all the new small capacity SSD owners coming from larger HDDs like me.
I've been trying to set up an AEBS and it tells me everythings working fine but none of my computers are able to see it wirlessly also if i unplug the ethernet from it then it stops working all together.

View 2 Replies View RelatedHi. Looking for some advice on whether to purchase an Airport Express or an AEBS for bridging Wireless-N in my apartment.
Currently I run a Mac Pro via gigabit ethernet to a D-Link DGL-4300 wireless-G router. My Powerbook is wireless-G and connects wirelessly. I also have an ipod Touch which is obviously G. I just recently purchased an AppleTV to get some HD and iTunes streaming in the bedroom, so the AppleTV is not located near the D-Link where I could connect it via ethernet.
So I need Wireless-N in order to stream content to the AppleTV. I also need to maintain a wireless-G network for both the Powerbook and the iPod Touch.
I was considering buying a new router that did simultaneous G and N but it would be an awful waste of what's otherwise a great existing G router.
So my question is, should I get an Airport Express and run it in Bridge mode to provide wireless-N connectivity to the AppleTV and any other follow-on N products I may purchase, or should I go with the AEBS which would come with a USB port for an external hard drive?
Using a G4 IBOOK with OS 10.5.8. Recently converted IBOOK from just my wifes computer to both of us so it is now dual usuage with both of us signing in to our respective files/e-mail, etc. My side has a problem never experienced before. My apple mail system address book has all the names the dock address book does but is missing almost 2/3rd of the actual e-mail addressess. I have tried to redo the dock address book in hopes it would change the "internal" mail book, but to no avail. It id difficult to add a recipient to an outgoing e-mail via the dock address instead of the apple mail address book.

For example the domain name is example.com and I have a user set up called john. Sending mail to john@server.example.com works.
But sending mail to john@example.com (which is what I want) returns an error:
554 554 5.7.1 <john@example.com>: Relay access denied (state 13).
For internal DNS, I have:
example.com - primary zonemail.expample.com - alias server.example.comserver.example.com - 192.168.1.2 [URL] - alias server.example.com MX record [URL]

Every evening (almost) I loose my internet connection. Thought it was my provider, but hooked up with a cable and the connection is fine.
I do have a WD 1T USB drive attached for TM backups of my wifes MB, so I�m thinking it has to have something to do with this set up.
I currently have one router (AEBS) distributing service to over 5 machines at times. Considering buying a new router, and was wondering if this will improve the speed of the internet (also going to upgrade to 50 MB service). I wouldn't have it connected to a computer though, rather kept in my bedroom plugged in. Is this possible or does a router have to be connected to a computer at all times to distribute wifi signal? I understand setting it up initially with a computer, but does it need at all times to work?
View 9 Replies View RelatedWhat does the dual band do for you? I was thinking about buying a second AEBS for Wireless N access only since mixed mode slows down when a G device is connected. Does this new AEBS get around that by having all the N devices at 5ghz and all the G devices at 2.4 ghz? I guess a basic explanation is in order here.

View 8 Replies View RelatedJust wanted anyone's input as to whether the new linksys (610N) wireless routers are better or worse (speedwise) than an AEBS?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've got a 10/100 AEBS (pre-gigabit) wireless N AEBS.
Here's the setup in detail.
- AEBS v7.4.1 running in bridge mode for an Actiontech (Verizon Fios) wireless G router. IP address is static. The two routers are connected via ethernet cable
- Airport Express v7.3.2 acting as a wireless extender
- Early 09 Mac Mini 2.0 Ghz 4gb ram (usually on Wireless N network). IP address is static.
- late 06 MBP 2.33Ghz (usually Wireless N network)
- XP Pro PC ripping/encoding drone (Wireless G only hooked to Actiontech)
I've tried the AEBS both in 5ghz only mode and 2.4ghz mode w/channels 6/5 and I'm getting horrible throughput to my Mini. A 1.3gb file is reporting over an hour to copy and speedtest is showing my internet connection as less than 2Mb/s up 3Mb/s down whereas it's a 15/5. The kicker - when I switch over to my Wireless G network I'm seeing 20mins for the same 1.3gb file and Speedtest is close to advertised speeds.
I'm getting either Time Capsule 500gb + 1tb usb drive or AEBS with two 1tb usb drives.
With TC my plan was to use the internal drive as my iTunes and iPhoto share and the 1tb usb drive as Time Machine backup for my macs. Same would be with AEBS that other drive is for TM and other for shares.
The problem comes with how to backup the drive with the shares? All my music and photos would be there so it would be essential to have that drive backed up. Do either of the devices come with some kind of backup utility to backup the drive? Kind of reverse TM.
I want my photos and music to be accessible from two laptops and one mini. The Mini could be used as a backup machine for the share drive when it's on. Mini is not on 24/7.
Is there better alternative for this setup than TC and AEBS.
I read some articles that stated the new 3x3 AEBS and TC were only capable of 300 Mbps, those reporta are wrong, I bought a new AEBS and have that setup as my new router and I have a new TC setup to extend my Wireless N network they are showing in the Airport Utility speeds between 400 and 450 Mbps look at the first device in the list.

This is strange, my Imac is connecting at 5Ghz but my late 2008 umbp is connecting at the 2.4 ghz frequency. Wi-fi is notably slower on my MBP than it is on my Imac. Is there anything I can do to change this and force it onyo yhe 5ghz channel?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm having a hard time finding an answer to what may be a dumb question. If I have the latest version of the AEBS, can I have my iPhone connected via g wireless on the 2.4GHz band control iTunes on a MacBook connected via n on the 5.0 GHz band? In other words, does the router bridge the 2 radios together so the devices can see each other between the 2.4 and 5.0 bands?
