WWhat is the URL , eg, 192.168.1.xxx for the Extreme router.circa 2011-2012?
I Can change settings on my ATT router using 192.168.1.254... Plus its device code...
why hy not the extreme router?
AIrport Utility is woefully lacking in offering this fine tuning tool...
no way to find best channel in 5ghz, ...difficult to do much of anything...

There is none. It does not exist.

Because Apple does not use a URL based utility for router administration.
Instead, Apple uses AirPort Utility, an application that is built into the Mac operating system. There is also an App for the iPhone and iPad that will allow users to administer the AirPorts. Depending on the model of AirPort that you want to administer, it might also be possible to use AirPort Utility for Windows, if you have a PC.
BBob: thanx for quick reply. I knew that but wanted to check. I'm a longtime Apple user...back under OS 6!!! But sometimes Apple gets it wrong. The other router vendors have eaten Apples lunch...but I Still love my Apple setup.
BtW, this issue came up upon my very recent install of ATT Gigapower. It is great...IF you are hard wired ..with my desktop hard wired I get 875-950Mbps.Down &Up.....consistently.
not so with WiFi. Why? The WiFi technology is just not ready for such a high speed internet. On the ATT router and. Any Mobile device with AC standards in WiFi I get about 100Mbps down & up! But with N standard devices I'm stuck with 35Mbps down & up.. ...especially hit was my 4 year old iPad with N technology! But my new iPhone...get up to 100Mbps! But come on... Who uses an iPhone for large data sources? Not me. That is my iPads job.
so...I set my Extreme Router to 5ghz and hope for the best on the device end....
NO use in getting a new AC std router...end unit devices speeds are set in hardware...
TThan X for listening...any further ideas are welcome
