![]() ![]() (you never have much control but even less when the Airport is set to what is effectively a repeater.)ĭo a test yourself. ![]() but you cannot control it's operation in this mode. of course you can use the Express to extend wireless. they have no right to be poking inside your network.Ĭan you clarify your statement that "You cannot use the Express in Extend wireless mode"? I have had my network configured this way for years and can observe that without the Express units in operation the range of the network is more limited. Frankly no matter how good a supplier they are. is it bridged to the unit you are supplied or running in router mode. Post screenshot of how the main airport is working. Perhaps spell out what equipment the ISP has given you and how you connect to it. and how you run your internal network is up to you. I would like to know how the ISP knows you are using 5ghz. it is just that extending using the same SSID the company cannot see the BSSID to know there are two of them. I suspect that both Express are at fault. Is there a way to control the Express units so that 5 GHz is not broadcasting from the one that the ISP reports is doing or should the fact that the main Extreme router has 5 GHz turned off control what is broadcast throughout the extended network?Īlso, do you have a reason that only one of the Express units, at least according to the ISP, is broadcasting on both frequencies? It could be possible that what the ISP is telling me is not accurate as well. I can seen no ability to control the frequency configuration in the AirPort Utility for the Expresses and the "Wireless Options" on both Expresses appear identical as below: After this the ISP reported to me that they no longer see 5 GHz broadcasting from my network except from one of the Express units which they say still is. I used the Mac AirPort Utility to re-configure the Extreme router to turn 5 GHz off. ![]() (I live in a fairly remote part of the California Mojave Desert and their long range WiFi network is - other than satellite service - the only game in town and while the network speed provided is relatively slow, it is adequate and they do provide good service.) I am more than willing to comply with their request but am experiencing the following: My ISP informed me that my network was broadcasting on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz and this is not compliant with their Terms Of Service. My WiFi Network consists of an AirPort Extreme (I can't read model number on the unit) vertical cube running firmware 7.9.1 and two Express units, model A1392 running firmware 7.8.1 that extend the network to locations at my residence. ![]()
