Airport Extreme connected to Sonic Pace Router - put in bridge mode (turn off DHCP / eliminate Double NAT) Wifi speeds: less than 15 Mbps down / 10 Mbps up Ethernet speeds all over large house, 800Mbps++ down / 105Mbps up disconnect Ethernet from Comcast model, plug into designated slot on Sonic pac Second Floor: old Airport Extreme (MB763LL/A) DEVICE 4 SSID Set for house (SSID and PW Same for all apple products)įirst Floor: Airport Express (Model: A1264 - 802.11a/b/g/Draft N) DEVICE 3 Ground Floor: Airport Extreme (Model: A1521 / 802.11ac / latest) DEVICE 2 Ground Floor: Sonic Pace Router Model 5268AC FXN DEVICE 1 Just got fiber in the avenues in SF (Sept 2016) All my Wifi devices in the house (tablets, PCs, phones) continued to work with no issue. Both are operational, though if I get around to it I will disable the ATT/Sonic one. I did not change the name of my AIport WiFi network to match the ATT/Sonic WiFi network. (Again, no idea what these things mean :) I also have no idea what means, but it turns out I don't have to! I did have an issue with the 5GHz WiFi network not showing up a choice anymore on my mac, but I solved that by changing the "channel" is uses from Automatic to one I randomly selected. (I have no idea what that means) And I could tell Airport to ignore it, or to solve it, use "Bridge Mode" (discussed in this thread). In Airport Utility, it reported I had a "Double NAT" problem. When the new Sonic/ATT Pace modem was hooked up, I simply plugged the Airport Extreme into that and everything worked right away (sort of). I also plugged Apple TV and a BluRay player into the Airport Extreme ethernet ports. That modem did not have WiFi so the Airport Extreme ran my home's wifi network. My old setup - I had Airport Extreme plugged into Comcast cable modem. I was able to get my Airport Extreme running with no issues.
