Hello , how can I connect my new AE to my Sitecom 300N ?
I tried several ways, but now my Mac contiues to say that the AE " was in a home network " and it's impossible to get a network with working AE and internet connection . I think I should be able to clean the configuration-logs , but how shoul I find these ?
And, maybe I should configure the AE with cable-connection to the Sitecom ?
Mac OS X (10.7.3)
You basically have two choices with connecting the 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) with the Sitecom wireless router:
Allright ,that's a clear answer ; which means I can't connect both wireless ?? Or do you mean it is possible, but not stable or something ??
With the first option the AXn would be connected to the Sitecom router by wire. In this configuration the AXn can support both extending the Sitecom's wireless network AND be used for streaming/printer sharing.
In the second option, the AXn would be connected to the Sitecome router by wireless. However, in this configuration it will NOT be able to extend the Sitecom's range BUT it can still be used for streaming/printer sharing.
In the second opinion ; what do I use in the configuration-settings ? - new network
- extend network
- replace router
And for the first opinion ?
And, in the first opinion ,can I use my iPhone over the Sitecom's network to stream music to the AX ?
Sorry , but I think this will be my final questions........;-))
In the second opinion ; what do I use in the configuration-settings ? - new network
- extend network
- replace router
(Note: I am referencing AirPort Utility v5.6 in the following responses.)
In the second option, you would choose: AirPort Utility > Select the AX > Manual Setup > AirPort > Wireless tab > Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network
And, in the first opinion ,can I use my iPhone over the Sitecom's network to stream music to the AX ?
Yes.
Is it possible to set up 2 networks ;
1: for internet through the Sitecom
2: for music streaming through the AX
If I set this up , I have to change networks manualy ?
So far, I did not succeed in setting up 1 network of both the Sitecom and the AX.............
If I set this up , I have to change networks manualy ?
No, if configured properly, you will only have a single wireless network (provided by the Sitecom router.)
Again, you just need to configure the AX to join the Sitecom's wireless network as per the link I provided earlier. In addition, please check out this Apple Support article for more details.
Again it's not working........!!
I worked as you described : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4587
Every time I get ; error : code 6753............
Try temporarily connecting the AX to the Sitecom router by Ethernet during the set up phase. Once completed, you can disconnect it, and then, place it at the desired location.
Thanks for your help !! But, that's what I'm doin' all the time;
using the (ethernet-) cable ....!
The idea was to connect it by Ethernet to get it set up. Once completed, you can remove the Ethernet connection and move the AX to the desired location where it would connect (hopefully) to the Sitecom.
Yes !! It's configured ; but for now...........it can't be found 👿
The configutation worked on my Windows laptop......😊 , couldn't manage this on both my Mac or iPhone.....ðŸ˜
I thought , I buy a Apple product, it'll be easy to set up , but I'm getting frustrated !!!
Sorry you are having so much trouble getting this to work.
There are only two other things I can think of:
I would recommend checking the first item, and report back with what the Sitecom settings are. If, after doing so, we don't find anything unusual, I can provide you with the Terminal commands to disable IPv6.
Tesserax , thankx for your support !!
But.....it didn't work out at the end ( 3 weeks ) and thats why I removed the Sitecom and bought an Airport Extreme , together with the Apple TV 🙂
Now, there's a very strong network in tha house , we're lovin' it !!😎
