Once you have the AirPort Extreme in Extend Wireless Network mode, all you should have to do is use an ethernet cable to connect your Mac Pro and your AirPort Extreme base station. I am currently using an Airport Extreme, in Extend Wireless Network mode, this way. You want to use the AirPort Extreme to get your Mac online via Ethernet, I assume?
I seem to be able to do this easily with Airport Express, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to accomplish this with the Airport Extreme.Īny ideas if this is possible or how I could do such a thing? So I'd like to use my AirPort Extreme as a wireless access point for a Mac Pro that doesn't have wifi capability. Keep powering up devices one at a time about a minute apart until the network is back up Power up the next device connected to the router and let it run a full minute
Power up the main modem/router and let it run for 2-3 minutes by itself Then, power off every device on the entire network.modem/router, computers, mobile devices, accessories, etc.in any order that you want Those USB dongle thingies work ok, the ones with antennas tend to be betterĬheck the settings on the AirPort Extreme using AirPort Utility on your MacĬlick on the picture of the AirPort ExtremeĬlick Edit in the smaller window that appearsĬlick the Wireless tab at the top of the next window to make sure that the AirPort Extreme is set up to "create a wireless network" that uses the same wireless network name, same wireless security and same password as your main routerĬlick the Network tab to make sure that the AirPort Extreme is set up in "Off (Bridge Mode)"Ĭlick Update at the lower right of the window and allow a full minute for the AirPort Extreme to restart This may work for bridge mode, you will need mac with wifi to set things up
