I have read from other discussions it may not necessarily be an Apple issue at this point I am pretty sure it has to be Any thoughts on to improve the wifi connection speeds? I know there's other good routers out there but its nice having the ecosystem be entirely Apple. If there is a fix, I'd rather keep the express than buying an Extreme. The SW is current from Apple 7.6.9 and while it still "works" it would be nice to have the speeds up to the max. However, I have tried changing the DNS from Cox to Google's and "played around" with the settings (changing frequency on the 5 Ghz channel, ensuring the auto channel is set to auto, hard resetting the express to factory settings, no change. The "theoretical" speeds may never be up to the 100 mbps but its not going to be due to interference (bluetooth, wireless speakers, microwaves, etc). I have read from other discussions it may not necessarily be an Apple issue at this point I am pretty sure it has to be. The download speeds over wifi have been ranging between 30 mbps to the most 75-78 mbps. Note these were very close to the same errors with previous modem that was replaced.ĥ). Modem is a DOCSIS 3.0 Motorola MB 7220 that was just replaced under warranty as Cox tech claimed ISP was not the issue.Ĥ) Logged into the admin tool from Motorola and found small errors with OID and updating time but not material to degrade the speeds. ![]() Directly connected with RJ45 from modem to computer download rate was 95 mbps upload 10mpbs ping was 15 m/s using Cox's speed test.ģ). No issues found with hard wire/cable leading up to the wall and RJ45s are Cat5/Cat6 yellow brand new (Cox tech had 350 mbps with his equipment and adjusted some noise/signal settings to ensure they were balanced).Ģ). Here is a list of troubleshooting so far:ġ). The connection is in this order: Coaxial cable from wall to Modem, Modem RJ45 to surge protector, Surge protector via RJ45 to airport express. Through process of elimination its been narrowed down to the Airport Express. The plan is 100/10 and this is maximum possible speeds when connected via ethernet/RJ45 to the express. ![]() Long story short, I am not receiving the full potential download speeds from my ISP (Cox) using wifi. Post back for more information if that is the case.Hello everyone! This may be an old topic but I am hoping someone might be able to provide insight on how to remedy this issue. If you have an AirPort Express.but thought that it was an AirPort Extreme.then you have some options to use the product for AirPlay. If you don't want to connect the AirPort Extreme to your Google WiFi router using a wired connection, I'm sorry, but you have purchased the wrong product. ![]() The bottom line here.if you do have an AirPort Extreme, the only way that it will work with the Google WiFi is to connect the AirPort Extreme back to the Google WiFi router using a permanent, wired Ethernet cable connection.or.if you cannot run the Ethernet cable, a pair of Ethernet over Powerline adapters might be able to send a signal over the existing AC wiring in your home. So, Apple has done away with a useless setting for the current AirPort Extreme that accomplishes nothing.Īn AirPort Express can "join" a wireless network for use with AirPlay, but the Express does not "extend" the wireless network signal when it joins. There is no extension of the wireless network and the Ethernet ports are not enabled. Even If the AirPort Extreme could "join" a wireless network, it does nothing.
