Q: How do you setup a wired connection between the latest Airport Extreme and Airport Extreme Gen 5?
So I used to have the Airport Extreme Gen 5, but I upgraded to the latest one. I want to setup a wired connection
between the latest one and the old one. I thought that it'll be the same process for extending it with an airport express, but I've tried that. I had the old Airport Extreme plugged in, blinking amber and so I held the reset button on the old one for 7-8 seconds. Then I plugged in the ethernet cable coming from the latest Airport Extreme and into the WAN port in the old Airport Extreme. I setup the old Airport Extreme as an extender , but it says it's extending it wirelessly. Can anyone help?
Airport Extreme Gen 6, Other OS, and Airport Extreme Gen 5
