Connect Airport To Mac App: How to Extend Your Wi-Fi Network with AirPort Devices



The AirPort Express was originally introduced by Apple as a way of streaming your music from iTunes on your Mac to a Hi-Fi (initially this ability was referred to as AirTunes, then AirPlay). If you have more than one AirPort Express connected to speakers, you can play your music from iTunes on all of your speakers at the same time.

It does have a unique feature, however. The presence of small 3.5mm mini jack socket that enables you to connect the AirPort Extreme to a music system. This audio jack enables you to connect a speaker to the AirPort Extreme and use it as an AirPlay speaker (so you can bounce music to it from any device).


Other than that, you might use an AirPort Express to extend your wireless networks to parts of a house with weak signals. However there have been complaints of connections being throttled down by the Express. Read our AirPort Express review here.


In general we see the AirPort Extreme as the device to connect to your home network if you want to boost your wireless network; and the AirPort Express is useful for extending a wireless network or adding AirPrint to a printer; or AirPlay to your stereo system.


As well as offering the latest 802.11ac standard, both the AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule have dual antennas inside so can produce both a 2.4GHz and 5Ghz wireless network (effectively you get two home networks from the one device). Newer devices can connect to the 5GHz network while older ones stick with the 2.4GHz network. Most hubs only operate in the slower 2.4GHz network.


With the Apple AirPort device you also get access to AirPrint and with the AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule you get access to an external drive (the Time Capsule has a drive built in, the AirPort Extreme enables you to access a USB drive connected to the device). With both of these you can backup your Macs wirelessly. You can connect the AirPort Express to your music system and beam music wirelessly using AirPlay.


All you have to do is to set up your AirPort Time Capsule as the main router for your network and make sure your Mac is connecting to the network the AirPort is on. Then, choose the AirPort Time Capsule as the external drive you want to save backups to.


Backing up important data is paramount to the security of your small business. Using Apple's Time Capsule, you get both a Wireless router for your Internet network and an external hard drive to backup data. Connecting the device to your Internet modem lets you connect to the Time Capsule using your MacBook Pro. You can either use the Time Capsule to create a new wireless network or add it to an existing network. Once connected, the Time Capsule works with Apple's Time Machine application to back up your data and give you peace of mind.

But the arp utility is only looking up entries in a cached table of machines yours has had some kind of connection with. This means that may see names/addresses of machines that have shut down or left the network but are still cached, and machines that yours has had no contact with may not show up at all.


(Found this recently on the 318 TechJournal blog.)BTW, I own a very old AirPort Express (-g only). Still handy to use at times. The latest AirPort Utility doesn't support it - it will show it in the nice GUI picture, but if you double-click on it, it suggests using AirPort Utility 5.6. It looks as if Apple will keep that available for a while yet.... -- Jerry--- -- Jerry--- -- JerryEdited on Aug 21, '13 09:12:04PM by leichter [ Reply to This # ] Find devices connected to your AirPort base station without AirPort Utility 5.6 Authored by: barefootguru on Aug 22, '13 04:06:21PM Option double-click adds an extra tab to the setup screen called Summary, but I'm not seeing anything which isn't available by single-clicking on the AirPort Extreme and hovering the cursor over the client list -- in particular I'm not seeing wired clients.Edited on Aug 22, '13 04:06:54PM by barefootguru


Cool, thanks, I hadn't figured out the option double click yet. I used to have this AppleScript that opened Airport Utility and each of my access points to the page listing the wireless connections. It arranged everything on the desktop along with a key to match the Mac addresses to the names.I was pretty disappointed that the old utility doesn't work in Mavericks. It makes the device less useful, I really don't know what they were thinking. We have Extremes at my office and configure them with Windows but might have to stop buying them if this is the direction Apple is going in.


Some users face this similar issue while attempting to connect to a Public WiFi at the airport or cafe. Your WiFi connection shows a strong signal and connected, but your Safari page never loads.


Many iDevice users tell us that when visiting a hotel or airport when they open Safari to log-in a blank login page pops up. But then the page times out without filling in or showing a place to log in!


Captive networks (also called pay-for-service, subscription networks, or WiFi Hotspots) are the type of networks found in WiFi-enabled cities, hotels, airports, public transportation, coffee shops, internet cafes (where they still exist), and other public locations. Captive networks force you (an HTTP client) to see a specific webpage, usually a login or sign up page, before you can use the Internet normally.


Interestingly, when I look at my AirPort network passwords, I see many of those that are in the Network settings, but not all. And some show as being in the iCloud keychain, while others are in the System keychain, even though they sync to and from my other devices. (For example, some of the networks I see on my Mac are those that I only connected to with my iPhone.) To delete any of these networks, click them, then press Delete, and click Delete in the confirmation dialog.


This wikiHow teaches you how to connect and set up the AirPort Time Capsule to a Mac computer. The Time Capsule is a two-in-one device that acts as a Wi-Fi router and an external hard drive which automatically backs up all the computers on your wireless network.[1]XResearch source Once you connect Time Capsule to your broadband modem, you can set it up to act as a wireless router for your home network.

I am having this exact problem, but none of my airports have anything in the Back to My Mac field. So this is not the fix I need. I have several Airport Extremes (7.7.9) and Expresses (7.6.9), and they keep just coming and going from my Airport utility screen. This started in November 2017. Any thoughts. The screen shots are exactly like yours in the linked article from 2016.


Internet working. green light on. No image of airport extreme on app and keeps searching for it. No airport base stations have been detected but will continue looking. Called apple they are never any help...... Any advice? The above didn't work for me... Thanks!!!!

We rely so much on Wi-Fi to do about anything on our Macs that it's a serious problem when we get disconnected. Happily, Wi-Fi problems on macOS Ventura are rare, and when they do occur, they are usually straightforward to fix. In this article, we'll explain the most common Ventura Wi-Fi issues and tell you how to fix them.


The problem may be with your router rather than your Mac. Try using another device, such as a smartphone or tablet. If that works, you can confirm the problem is with your Mac. If it doesn't, it's probably your router. If the other devices don't connect to the internet, restart your router and try again. If none of your devices work after that, contact your broadband provider.


Seriously. Sometimes this is all you need to do! Click the Wi-Fi symbol in the menu bar and toggle the switch to turn it off. Wait a few seconds and switch it on again. While you have that menu open, ensure your Mac is connected to the correct Wi-Fi network; if not, connect to the correct one. 2ff7e9595c
