I *was* using the Setup Wizard, but the wizard doesn't recognize the Airport Extreme initially unless it is physically connected to the network, or at least that was the way I managed to work it.
#Apple airport extreme base station 6th generation how to#
What am I missing? Google hasn't been helpful since they never describe how to connect the Extreme to set it up as an extender initially. I understand all the setup parameters, but I need to be able to access them. Does this have to be physically connected to the network first before it can be used as a base extender. I've done a hard reset, and still no joy. I'm trying to add it to the network, but it doesn't work like the expresses in that merely plugging it in (no wired connection, just power) doesn't seem to work in getting the Airport Utility to recognize. I just picked up a refurb 6th generation Airport Extreme that I want to replace the extremes. I have Xfinity 250 mbps and get nearly 300 mpbs on the wired connection, but the wi-fi drops to about 15 mbps because the Expresses are only 802.11n. I've been using airport expresses to extend the range, but there is so much traffic on my network that I need to move to faster 802.11ac speed across the local net. My primary router is a recent Airport Time Capsule. I want to extend the range of my current network so that everything is 802.11ac.
